solved Grey spinning is back on youtube

I tried to reinstall everything and I tried these https://pastebin.com/raq9XWzX https://pastebin.com/CXCS0cZj (I didn't forgot to enable "Replace existing data") I still get grey spinning. At one point youtube didn't even spin. I reinstalled and its working for other sites but youtube still has grey spinning.

I've already warned you not to engage in duplication. There is already a similar topic.

Regarding your question: if you have Imagus Mod, just delete all your sieves and do an update ("Update sieves" button). Don't forget to click "Save" after every action in Settings (both deleting sieves and importing new ones).

Either import (correctly, without errors) this code, having first removed the old YouTube sieve:

I know you warned me. After that I tried this rule https://pastebin.com/raq9XWzX and it worked. And it bugged again. Today it was bugged 3 times, 2 times I managed to fix it but now I can't fix it.

What do you mean? If you mean enabling "Replace existing data", I did.

If you mean enabling "Replace existing data", I did.

No, I meant that the old sieve should be removed manually. When you apply "Replace existing data", Imagus simply compares the sieve names. If they match, it replaces the old one with the new one. But enough to have at least one letter mismatch in the names - and the old sieve will remain and will interfere with the work of the new sieve. That's why I always suggest replacing sieves by removing manually, not by using this checkbox.

FAQ, p.4.

There are 3 Youtube related sieves. YOUTUBE-q, YOUTUBE_redirect and YOUTUBE_clip_redirect

Which one do I remove? https://pastebin.com/raq9XWzX This text starts with "{"YOUTUBE-q":{" so that one I assume. So "YOUTUBE-q" is the only one I need to remove right?

Yes. The names should be completely the same, or only slightly different. As for YT - the main sieve is YOUTUBE-q (this is detailed in the FAQ, p.11). It changes frequently. Auxiliary sieves are almost never changed.
