Google Pixel 7 Pro YouTube issue? Anyone ever have trouble with YouTube suddenly not working at all?

As title says. Links wont open, app wont open. Tried forcing stop, clearing cache/data. Restarted phone. Every other app seems to be fine, the phone doesnt lag, no problems other than the YT app. It just started happening yesterday. System is up to date.

​

Am I alone here?

EDIT: for now, a temporary fix seems to be uninstalling the YouTube app and reinstalling it. I did that this morning and I haven't had any trouble with it since. I will continue to update this until the end of the weekend to let you know if the fix appears permanent.

EDIT 2: YouTube seems to continue working as intended. However, there are a number of problems I have noticed that were not present before; my Bluetooth (both in my car and my earbuds) keep disconnecting unless I leave Spotify open on the playing song??? My homescreen also keeps freezing periodically and I am unable to open any of my folders that contain all my apps. I have had to restart my phone more in the last two days than I probably have since I bought the thing. Will continue to update.
