YouTube plays whack-a-mole, fixes another annoying account issue

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• YouTube and YouTube TV briefly had issues with sign-ups and subscription management.
• Some users saw errors when trying to add packages or change existing subscriptions.
• Google says the issue is fixed, but users still having trouble should refresh the app or browser.

YouTube just closed the book on a sign-in bug that locked some people out of the app on smart TVs and gaming consoles. That issue was fixed earlier this week, but another account-related problem surfaced soon after. This time, the trouble hit people trying to sign up for or change paid subscriptions across YouTube and YouTube TV — and Google says it has already fixed that too.

In a community post, YouTube said some users ran into errors or failed dialog boxes when trying to sign up, add packages, or modify existing subscriptions. The company said it was investigating the issue, but didn’t identify the cause or say how many people were affected.
