I am not having any problems with YouTube. I have been on TY for the past two hours too. I am not running into any infinite loading for any video. There are other videos to the right of the main video and the comment for this video is appearing. To make my point, below is a link to one of my sleep videos. If there is something else which you see, but I do not in my screenshot, it is because I have made it not show according to my preferences on YouTube.

Keep in mind I am now using, at the time of this post, 64 bit (GTK3) linux Pale Moon 34.3.1 running in 64 bit MX Linux 25.2 (Infinity) Xfce. Also, I do not have a YT account. And uBlock Origin 1.16.6.1 is enabled for YT.

And below the video are the comments which are seen in my screen shot. And my linux Panel at the far right shows the time, day and date when I made this screenshot.

The videos themselves load fine, but not additional side-feed recommendations or comments. It worked yesterday (actually 02:00 today, but before sleep/previous session), but not today, and I've made no changes to my setup. I'm using PureURL, eMatrix and uBO 1.16.6.1 too, with various uBO content block filters and some greasemonkey scripts as usual.

I tried creating screenshots, but whenever I try loading comments or the extra sidefeed vids, the page slows the browser down to a 1fps crawl. As long as I don't scroll down at all, from the video I'm watching, it works as normal. Well, "normal", with YT's infamous daily A/B testing..
