YouTube not loading videos

I noticed it a few days ago that when I tried to open YouTube [no videos would load](https://i.imgur.com/isAkpFd.png) for me. I assumed it was just a temporary outage of some kind and went on with my downtime without the background noise I was used to while gaming. The next night it was still not loading videos so I Googled it and found mostly old posts from over a year ago, but one post from the previous day about the app not working on some smart phones. I'm trying to use it on my laptop, but that was close enough so I went on with my night like normal.

But now it's been another day and a half. A 3+ day outage of one of the biggest online services should be generating more talk, but I'm still not seeing any posts about it. I thought it might be a video driver issue on my end, but I was able to open videos on other sites.

Googling is getting me pretty useless AI answers or links to unrelated Quora posts.
