I can also replicate this on 2 real devices (LTE internet) and on the Android Emulator. This happens while updating the subscriptions in the What's new screen (resulting in Not loaded: x message), and in the Profile page of a user (resulting in the crickets message). Other tabs of the profile (playlists, albums, likes) work fine.

I am unable to repro this

yt-dlp is experiencing the same error. yt-dlp/yt-dlp#15660

It's something on Soundcloud's side and not a bug in NewPipe. Although that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about it, but it's not our fault
