Youtube comments/sidebar/menu under profile picture will not load on safari

Hi, when i am accessig youtube on safari, my comments, sidebar, and the menu under my profile picture profile picture will not load. This is only happenning when I am logged in to my account, if I am logged out it seems to be working fine. Additionally, my account is working on other browsers. I tried removing cookies on safari and deleting my watch history on my youtube account, but nothing seems to work


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.3

Im having this exact same issue on my Mac. My YouTube was working just normal yesterday but then I opened it today and I was signed out, everything was the same on YouTube until I signed in, I have tried every tip and trick but my profile menu bar, as well as the side bar, and comments will not load/work. I can watch videos just fine though? Hoping you get a reply soon if you haven't figured it out still. Super annoying, it's like half working essentially.

I’ve been having exactly the same problem, which started about a week ago. Menu bar, comments section and profile menu keep loading but don’t show anything. Videos are playing just fine. I access YouTube on my iPad through Safari. Refreshing the webpage, cleaning cookies and history in Safari and restarting my iPad all didn’t help. After a few days of having this issue I decided to install the YouTube app, but this is sooooo different from the web version that I couldn’t find my way in the app at all, so removed it again and tried the web version once more. And then everything worked properly again! But…. a few days later (today) the same problem popped up again, so back to square one 🙄. What to do???
