Why are Youtube videos so slow loading these days?

Just over the last 2 weeks they've been loading painfully slowly, stalling out and were much faster before. Computer up to date with all updates, same results on two other computers on different servers.

    You have to download the latest version of adobe flash player in order to be able to watch videos on the internet (Youtube, Facebook, etc..). Sometimes this software is not installed or is damaged and it is responsible for many issues with videos.

    I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player for free here http://j.mp/1p3PvVQ.

    It can be a quick fix so it's worth trying to reinstall it. It worked for me.

    With Flash Player as well as watching videos you can also play flash games online :)

    Cheers

    I've been noticing the same. Sometimes, I think trying to load the video conks out the other tabs I have open, and my Internet connection crashes or something. Very odd. I hope they do something to resolve this matter.
