Youtube recently gets stuck loading after a minute or two. Adblock related?

As the title says, starting about a week, maybe two, ago my youtube tends to hang up after a minute or two of watching certain videos. I use Firefox and Ublock Origin, as recommended. I looked down the sub and I haven't seen anyone talking about this specific issue.

It's worth noting that I also use IDM (Internet Download Manager) and was able to see how, after trying to even download the videos (which has previously not been an issue) the download rate drops to 0 kb/s when this incident occurs. From where I'm sitting it almost seems like Youtube detects the adblocker and just cuts service. However I don't get any of the messages others have talked about here.

Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions on what to do?
