YouTube keeps wanting to go to a different application, then says the address is invalid

YouTube doesn’t work. Every time I try to play a video it say would you like to go to (insert insanely long URL here) and when I press ok, it says the address is invalid. I have gone through the settings and restarted the phone but nothing works.

From other responese, it appears the culprit is an extension. See if this solution works for you.

After the last update my youtube home page redirects to random channels.

Well dang. I assumed the link was correct. It appears the page no longer exists. Let's try this post.

Going to YouTube with Firefox, it will redirect me from the Home page, to a random suscription page.

Same thing happens. Would screenshots of the YouTube problem possibly help find a working forum to answer the problem?

Let's try one more URL. This one works for me.

I don’t have any extensions and the other tips didn’t work. I will attach some screenshots of what happens to see if that helps to narrow it down.

Sorry, Joshua. I'm not sure where to go from here. I tried a number of things and was unable to duplicate your issue on my iPhone X or Macbook. Can you share the link you're trying to open?

EDIT: Reading your original post again, I assume every link you attmept to open doesn't work, so sending one won't help.
