Which browsers are you guys use? or maybe certain DNS...
Here with Firefox: YT videos links are visible and works fine👍:unsure:

With Brave and Chrome. I disabled uBlock Lite in Chrome, as well as F-Secure Online Protection just to see. When I click on the video, it shows the error. Otherwise, the video displays correctly until I tick on it. I don't use a DNS (Browser DNS setting/ OS default when available), and I disabled F-Secure's VPN.
 
I have found a temp workaround; reload the page.

It works fine on my end :( ... Are you seeing that error for all youtube videos?

Thanks for checking, Jack. It's pretty much on all that thread page videos, where the preview is fine, it's just when you click on it to play it, shows the error with Brave and Chrome. I'll play around a bit more and see if it's anything on my end, but my previous post is pretty much all I use (limited apps, extensions and settings).
 
I use Chrome and no issues... Can you try to temporarily disable the adblocking extension (or any filtering extension/program) to see if it works..
Actually, it's error 153. Still no video on Chrome with adblocker disabled.
 
I'm seeing a lot of little visual glitches and link issues. Clicking the markdown box for direct messages showed names of users but only half of the clickable links for those messages until I refreshed. The forum emblem on the top header when refreshed glitches. It's just random little issues. I'm using Chrome FYI.

So in Chrome I disabled uBlock and F-Secure browser protection from the Extensions menu. I disabled Use secure DNS in the Chrome settings, and disabled F-Secure VPN, cleared all of Chromes history (cookies etc.) logged back in with the same 153 error result.

Edit: and I'm not trying to be a jerk, which at times I know I can be, but I just thought I'd check another forum I used to be a part of where they have a music thread, and all of those videos worked (that were still valid), with all my default settings and extensions enabled. FWIW :)
