I think you want this forum…

Try with different browsers and different computers. I see that you have an adblocker for Youtube. Try with disabled extensions.

You might have an ad blocker installed or you might be dns filtering in which case YouTube has been detecting some instances and showing this error message.

Blocking video ads is a complex problem due to the almost infinite amount of virtual ad servers YouTube has. I can’t suggest anything else since it might be against the forum rules other than try to disable your measures and see for yourself.

Thanks for the replies guys. It was the Adblocker

I’m using mikrotik, so thought maybe there is an issue on my config

No the issue is with the person who controls the computer, they need a spanking!

seriously, whats bitten you??

If you want an adblocker for YouTube, use uBlock Origin. Works perfect.

Excellent, thank you very much for being so helpful!
