nixb on Nostr: It looks like this might be tied to the browser engine... it works for me on Blink ...

It looks like this might be tied to the browser engine... it works for me on Blink (Chrome), but breaks on Safari’s WebKit.

If you're seeing this on iOS, a quick fix is clearing the cache:

Head to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data.

Search for youtube and swipe to delete.

Once you reload the page, the thumbnails should pull cleanly from YouTube's CDN.


PS
Talking about YT thumbnails I confess this one here makes me LOL ..


The coincidence was that I used the "Jenga Tower" analogy to describe when a software breaks .. the inspiration actually came from one of my favorites comic strips XKCD "dependency"
😁


and the whole point to use Eelco Dolstra's nix.
