Youtube is borked, please help

[Sagittarius]

Right, so when I open basically 50% of all youtube videos, the video just goes black with no loading bar or play button. I've check my GPU driver, firefox version, flash version and shadowplay, and none of them seem to be the cause.

Please help me, I just want to watch youtube again.

Spoiler: What it looks like

Edit:
It seems I'm not the only one having this problem

just delete your history in chrome, and delete any addons, delete any extensions.

It happens to a lot right now, guess it's a bug but idk..
We'll have to wait and see

Something about the advertisements is wrong, there's a bug with the system there.

Wait it out, youtube will fix it within this decade.

In the mean time, just go enjoy some perp or something.

Literally just turn your computer off then on again. That always works for me, usually when I have my computer on for too long. If not, try clearing your cache on your browser.

Pretty sure YouTube are trying out a beta html5 player or something, just gotta opt into it I think
