This happens on my iPad Air 2 and iphone. If I load a long YouTube video (20min+) I just keep getting the loading circle or an error message. Sometimes I get lucky and it works but it is starting to get annoying. I want to know if its because my connection is slow, YouTube issue, or my devices are old and can't handle it.
I doubt its my connection since Netflix streams in HD instantly.

Note this happens using most browsers to watch YouTube(didn't test chrome) and I have not tested it using the official app. There are stuff like 6 hours videos of complete videogame playthroughs or other recorded events.

I looked into buying the new Air, but the few seconds in snappier performance does not justify the $500 price tag. Seems its not my device is the issue.
