That's your ad-blocker. YouTube has started pausing playback for the 12-30 seconds while the ad plays (even if blocked), so you see a black screen.

- kasparsklavins 10y agoPlayback is okay. Its the homepage and subscription pages that are freezing up.
- lightbyte 10y agoSo THATS why all videos appear to freeze up for me? Been driving me crazy trying to figure out why.
- czed 10y agoI had the same problem...Luckily it's easy to fix. Disable your ad blocker and refresh your video with ads until you get the one that is a survey. Once you finish the survey you can enable your ad blocker and things will be normal again.
- chiph 10y agoSince my reason for running a blocker is to prevent an ad-delivered malware infection -- I think I'll stick with the black screens, as annoying as they are.
