    Plot twist, it is YouTube sending those moronic support requests.

    Edit: I checked out the reddit thread and people really are moronic.

    A:

    I can’t access YT at all now. I just get a big, blank empty page. I’ve tried following every single step in the guide and nothing works. Before, I was able to watch videos if I opened the link in a private browser, but now even that doesn’t work. Using Firefox btw. What am I supposed to do now?

    B:

    I just started having this problem this morning. I realized I forgot to disable Ghostery, one I took care of that the page would load again.

    A:

    I ain’t disabling Ghostery…

        You don’t need Ghostery if you have uBlock Origin, it only increases the chance of the two adblockers interfering with each other. It’s like those boomers who have 5 different anti viruses on their Windows PC… Just stop it!
