Can't like comments/sometimes cant comment on app based Youtube since I got new iphone. Tried reinstalling

I got a new i phone 17 pro. since then when i open youtube app if I try to thumbs up a comment i get "Error occurred loading the chanell creation for. Please try again later". This has been a couple of months now. Im not flooding the channel violating TOS etc. I offloaded and reinstalled and did all the things recommended. Still not working. It works fine if I use the web-based youtube rather than app. Can someone help? Thank you.

VPN on iPhone especially, more recently, causes more and more connectivity issues. The reality is VPN is simply not needed and doesn't protect you like you've been led to believe. Get rid of the VPN, it's profile and any associated app and you'll no longer have any issues with YouTube.

Honestly, you couldn't pay me to have a VPN on my iPhone. Read this and learn more --> VPN: What you need to know - Apple Community

Any chance you have a VPN installed on your iPhone (whether it is used or not)?

YouTube Comment Spec Not Working:

If it works just fine on YouTube itself, then its your device, or the app. Having been going on for a good couple of month, if lobsterghost1's reply does not work, the a few thoughts here:

Don't Use Cellular and WiFi Concurrently: If you are using Cellular, then turn off WiFi, and vise versa.

Turn On JavaScript: Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced, then toggle ON JavaScript switch to on (green). Being off, you might break the sites.

Clear Temporary Internet Files: Clear the Cookies and Caches of ALL of your web browsers on this device. Doing so, things will clear out, form textbox entries, to selected checkboxes and radiobuttons.
