Looks like Youtube is blocking MS NOW

https://youtube.com/@msnow?si=vAjkjqstlLbs6TJg

The videos are hidden due to location (US). Looks like Canada and UK are blocked as well. I know you can always go direct to MS NOW but many people use youtube for their main TV Access.

3. All videos of that channel were blocked based on locality

When I posted. And my locality was US.

Perhaps it was a “bug”.

You may need to subscribe to get anything, but it took a while to load things.

7. It took me .75 seconds to load that page and .1 second to load the first video.

The one thing I notice with YouTube is that some days it will say I'm in a different country and I have to reset my country to USA. IDK why that happens, but it does so every now and again. Also, if you are using a VPN, check which country you are pointing to, as some content is marked for certain country or regions. With VPNs, a fast drop might change to a high latency and that might slow down the connection or cause timeouts on some sites, so I check the response time of the location I am connected to. Just spitballing here, but whenever I run into weird issues, those seem to be the ones that ding me.

4. There have been some, imo, suspicious outages with Cloudflare recently

Cloudflare is a global cloud platform that acts as a secure "middleman" between website visitors and servers. It primarily provides security and performance tools for millions of websites.
It is also the DNS manager that many websites go through.

I've been having trouble trying to "prove" that I am not a bot on some sites that I previously could access without issues.

I promise, I am not a bot!

I stream from these two free sites ...

https://usnewson.com/watch/msnbc-live
https://livenewschat.eu/msnbc-live-stream/

These are secondary feeds. Occasionally they lock up and display other digital weirdness. When one fails, I switch to the other.

I can get MS-NOW through my cable, but I just don't bother. Streaming via these two sites is more convenient.

I was LITERALLY just on YouTube. Saw a few videos for MS NOW.

Are you sure you've got everything set right for your algorithm?

I find that clearing the cache on my account resets everything on there.

Good luck.
