YouTube ads delayed before starting

Anyone else experiencing delays before ads on YouTube? I will select a video and, of course an ad plays BUT before it even starts there is a 30 second delay (often times longer then 30 secs). And then the next ad queues up and it’s the same delay. This started last week. At first I thought it was our internet but it must be some new thing on YouTube. Makes me so mad I’ve just stopped watching. And some videos will have an ad every 5 mins. I don’t mind the ads but the delays are maddening and time wasters. If anyone has a solution please share.

Thank you!

i don't get ads, but some of the apps I've tried in the past to remove them, did something like that. Did something maybe get downloaded to hide or change ads or anything? I am totally not an expert. I just use Firefox search engine, lol, and its full of apps for things like youtube. (I don't understand what most of them do, so haven't tried most, I just knew some of the things I used to use in the past to get rid of ads would do that)

How are you watching Youtube? Are you using a streaming device like Roku? Your laptop/computer? Phone? Tablet? For me, it makes a difference what device I am using. With Roku streaming, I get more ads than when I watch on my laptop. I do not have the issue you mentioned, though, on either my Roku or laptop. I don't watch much YT on my phone, unless it's a video that someone posts on Facebook. Even then, I don't get the delay that you are getting.

I use safari on my ipad and iPhone and I also have a laptop with google chrome. All 3 have the same prob. It started last Friday. I don’t download anything to any of the devices except patterns and it’s been awhile since I’ve done that. Idk. I did send them a note about it through YouTube but who knows. I thought for sure it was user wide lol.

Thanks for your responses.

This may be something that came with a computer/system update then? Do you have the option on your computer to go back to another starting point? (like before you did last update?) That may help?

It’s funny you say that because when all this first happened I upgraded the software on my iPad because it had been a couple years since I’d updated (I don’t do well with change haha). And updated the YouTube app. Even funnier this morning everything was back to normal. No more circle of death for 2 mins before every ad. I have no idea what was going on but I’m glad it’s not happening anymore. Thank you for your very kind input!!!

I'm not good at computer stuff myself. I just play with stuff till it breaks or gets better if its driving me crazy. I'm so happy you got it figured out- or that its fixed anyway, lol.
