I prefer to watch on YouTube.
What phone are you using? Have you got the latest version of the YouTube app?

According to the Play store I'm on the latest version. It's been an issue for months though. If I want to go back and edit a comment it keeps me in this "Keep Writing" or "Discard" loop. I can't edit comments anymore, I just have to delete them and re-post. It's annoying AF.

Could be I just need to upgrade my phone (it's a few years old), but I'm not doing that just for an app. Screw ThemTube.

Chad said that the Dec 31, 1999 show was cancelled due to Y2K concerns. I thought it was because a band member was sick?
