I've had the issue with it not loading videos channels have uploaded on their pages. Had to switch to RSS feed. Local API error, Mexican server for the VPN did not help.
I'd try keeping requests to a minimum, like with putting everything to download and watching those instead (e.g. with yt-dlp or Grayjay's Watch Later playlist set to auto-download), using RSS on another device/IP (e.g. with a VPS, @birb@rss-parrot.net on Mastodon or a phone/Raspberry Pi on another connection) then forwarding over to your main device, avoiding requesting all subscriptions in a row (e.g. Grayjay's Subscription tab or having a too aggressive refresh/fetch setting on an RSS reader), rebooting your phone when issues start (if it's a cache/memory leak issue), and/or using a VPN and changing servers as needed.
every then and now yt changes how their video loader works so everyone has to update their apps, maybe it's just that
I just used newpipe at the gym for a half hour and didnt experience. Playing some videos now. Maybe regional isp issue?
