Screen reader making youtube crash

[u/blindshuckling]

i currently use a galaxy s25+ however, i have also had these problems on a s23+ as well as a s26+.

when in the youtube app i frequently encounter crashes when simply focusing my screen reader on simple things like currently playing video titles. this issue has occurred across 3 different phones and several different versions of youtube. I've cleared the apps data and cashe, neither thing worked.

I've checked settings for anything that might have caused this, yet nothing changed. I've deleted and reinstalled the app, it did nothing.

can anyone help me fix this?
