The current issue seems to particularly affect users using Adblock. The video skips to the end even when played repeatedly, and skipping certain points in the video can result in endless loading screens.
Many suspect this is a deliberate attempt by YouTube to force users to turn off their ad blockers. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of an error caused by Adblock itself.
Although there are reports of a similar issue occurring among users who do not use ad blockers, these are extremely rare. The majority of affected viewers appear to be Adblock users.
