(magento 2.2) anyone else feel magento is super buggy and unpredictable? anyway, my biggest problem is this:
i have several categories that when you click on the product the site loads just fine. but there are other categories for no reason whatsoever just do not load (on front end). if i create a new category with different name and put 0 products in it, it loads. the moment i add 1 product, any product to its category or sub categories, any categories in the parent and child categories do not load.
for example: Default Category - Clothing - Shirt as soon as i add a product to clothing and/or shirt, both click on clothing and shirt on the front end stop loading.
i get a blank page and the console shows this error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token U in JSON at position 153
at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
at getNodeData (scripts.js:87)
at Array.map (<anonymous>)
at scripts.js:117

at jQuery.fn.init.jQuery.fn.ready (jquery.js:3542)
at jQuery.fn.init (jquery.js:2967)
at new jQuery.fn.init (jquery-migrate.js:225)
i have tried cache flush, cache clean, reindexing, putting the site in developer mode and then recompiling to production mode. the category is a sub category of the Default Category where everything else is. it does not matter if i create other sub categories or not, as soon a product is added to a new category it will not load on the front end. nothing about my site is super complex.
