I have been having an odd issue with YouTube lately and I was wondering what is causing it.

I log into YouTube and look up videos. It just hangs there and I get the screen saying the video is loading but it never does.

So I log out and go back into the video. It immediately starts playing and no issues.

So I log back into YouTube and the video NOW refuses to load it just indicates it is loading.

I log out and go back in and immediately the video starts playing

Just wondering what causes this?
