YouTube developers made a change to fix the problem immediately before my previous comment. Specifically, this problem was fixed at 4:35PM Pacific Time, which is why I asked users to clear their cache again, which should help remove any lingering effects.
If you’re still experiencing he same, try clearing the browser cache and reload the page to see if the problem persists.
