YouTube's mobile site...

...is currently driving me crazy. I tend use their mobile site because for some reason, my YouTube app that comes with my iPhone doesn't load anywhere near as quickly, doesn't let me respond directly to comments, and is generally annoying and poorly designed. Their mobile site, for some reason, is being irritating and isn't letting me load my playlists. It'll show the first set of videos, and when I click "more," it just flashes and shows the same videos again. Peculiarly, it DOES let me see my favorites and cycles through them. Is this just foul-up on YouTube's part that I really can't do anything about and will just have to wait for them to fix, or am I doing something wrong?

The YouTube Android app is similarly worthless. I've never gotten a video to actually play on it in the 18 months I've had this phone, even when just for shits & giggles I give it 10 minutes to load.

You guys probably just have crappy phones. I've never had a problem on my Android phone with either the mobile site or the app.

I have an iPhone 4S. The app itself doesn't let you do certain things the mobile site does, so I like to use both. It used to work fine, then one day, it didn't work fine. It's....irritating...

I have an inexpensive Android phone, and whenever I try to watch a YouTube video, it starts playing the video...stops...and then says it can't play the video.

It finally works, presumably YouTube themselves fixed it.
