Ad playing and crediting system has been broken/bugged since Wednesday (details inside)

Something changed or broke on Wednesday and most ads haven't been crediting for two days (and counting) now. Most ads play to the end and then just hang or freeze until the page reloads both on desktop and mobile. On desktop, there are no green rectangles next to 'Time remaining' when those ads play, and on mobile, there's only one green dot instead of the usual two. Some ads that do that are Pitera, Dawn, some Amazon Prime video, Air New Zealand, Nix Ultra, Monistat, and I think Mastercard. There were a few others that I don't remember.

One thing I noticed is that now there is a small letter 'i' inside a small circle in the bottom right corner when the page is looking for ads or playing ads. This 'i' inside a circle used to be only present on tvminutes but now it is on tvglee, miimd, and matchedcars too. Perhaps, Earnhoney changed the video player or added new ad partners. Sunnygardens doesn't seem to have that icon yet though and the ads seem to be working there but they're different ads (some TV series on FX networks and Amazon/Bic partnership ads).

Also on desktop, some ads that used to work perfectly now play for only a few seconds and then abruptly disappear before finishing and the regular videos start playing. Examples of such ads that used to work but now don't: Subaru, USPS, some night guard brand and something about clear eyes (and on mobile, the clear eyes ad plays to the end and then hangs).
