    I think youtube has just started needing way more bandwidth than it used to. A few years ago, 100KB/s would load a videos page almost instantly, comments as well, and smoothly run 360p playback. Now even at 160KB/s I often spend 60+ seconds for parts of the page to even load.

      That’s thanks to their shitty javascript. Gosh, I hate sites doing that so much

      Just let me use my browser the way it’s intended to instoad of loading every shitty little html element dynamically with your shitty js doing shitty network requests dropping them like crazy
