I’m getting that, too, but I’m watching Chinese dramas, so it’s not aimed at you. I suspected we had some app sucking memory that was causing the trouble, but with your comment, it seems it’s YouTube’s problem and not ours.
What I’ve done is leave it in play and move the cursor forward the teeniest bit. That will often start the playing again. For some totally unknown reason, after 8 or 10 of these, I’ve had the video start to play continuously again. Not the faintest idea what is going on, but it IS frustrating and it’s not Trump related.
