Nexus 5 Youtube App Problem

Lurker
Hello, I have a Nexus 5 (Android Version 6.0.1) and recently I've been having problems with my Youtube app. Basically it loads slow, especially the thumbnails, comments, and the search bar. When I play the video it works well, even in 1080p.
I tried to find the answer myself using google of course, but I have found nothing relevant.
*What I have tried to fix the problem :
1. Delete App Cache-data, reinstall it.
1.1. Restart the phone
2. I have also reset my entire phone.
3. At this point you think it might be an Internet problem, (I also did), so here is what I have done : Tested the speed of wi-fi connection : above 30 mb/s every time. (I tested if the app works better when I stay very close to the router). Even if I use a 5 ghz connection, Youtube is the only app which has Problems.
***!!! Here comes the part where my mind is blown : I've tested the Youtubeapp on much weaker wi-fi connections (from my university, from train station etc ) AND THE THUMBNAILS AND COMMENTS ARE WORKING GOOD. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!!!!
***!!! Also I tested youtube within Google Chrome browser and it works perfect!
Why in the world this app works better on a weaker wi-fi connection??? I desperate need an answer, because mostly I use Youtube on my phone.
P.S Don't answer generic things, please answer only if you know what you're talking about.

Hello there!
I removed your other duplicate app as it seems that it may not be device related.
However, if indeed it does turn out to be device related, we can move the entire thread to the Nexus 5 forum later. ;)
Good Luck!
