That's never happened for me and I normally watch 5-10+ YouTube videos daily. Firefox.

That sounds pretty nice. Is there a way to do it on purpose?

I know that's a tongue-in-cheek joke, but just in case I'm fond of the plugin unhook.

I experience this, but only with YouTube Shorts. Video loads, but none of the elements around it.

This has happened to me frequently.

Also many times, the video won't play. If I reload the page, then it will play.

I've never seen that. I use Firefox.

That happens to me about 50% of the time. I assume it's google engineers not testing on Firefox.

Hah. I always assume it's them actively trying to make the experience worse on anything that is not Chrome.

Are you running any extensions that modify content?

Yes happens sometimes to me, Vivaldi.

I have, and recently, i nothing is loading until i open a new video in another tab, then all of a sudden both pages start loading and playing :s
