I've noticed that too, I just switch to Freetube when it happens.
Simply disgusting, but it's business as usual for Google.

Is free tube just pulling YouTube’s data or it a separate site? Can you watch livestreams if it’s the former? Basically all I use YouTube for is watching a couple streamers and watching Japanese udon restaurant channels while I eat my bologna sandwich for lunch
