“Might”… it’s introducing an artificial delay when loading videos.
That explains the “are you experiencing interruptions” message I keep getting these days, though I kinda expected this.
If you press on the “learn more” button, it brings you to a page that ends with “try disabling extensions, such as adblockers”.
Ads on youtube are getting even more stupid. Does anyone get those ads about “procastinations” and “ADHD”? It starts off with some songs like “Procastination isnt your fault…” and some dolls dancing? So annoying
So annoying
Those two words describe about every ad on youtube.
Oh no! You are going to make your platform work like ass? And you expect us to do mental gymnastics in such a way that instead of blaming you (you know the one that has control over the platform) we blame uBlock? The same uBlock that has made using your platform bearable for many years, to the point that I will sit in silence with the screen off instead of watch with ads?
I think even if you make us wait a min before playing the video most would take that over an ad.
I would prefer an ad 🤷 if it doesn’t last a stupid amount of time

Stop feeding me dog shit AI videos about a condom delivery boy who has to deliver some to a hotel only to find his girlfriend cheating on him and maybe I’ll stop blocking ads you fuck sticks
Seems like a great ad
Condom delivery service you say? 🤔
YouTube was lagging to play vids the other day now i wonder if it was A B testing. screw off YouTube. 10 ads for a 20 minute video isn’t normal and never will be. also the ads pause if you aren’t watching them. wtf? as always I expect uBlock Origin to get around this
we live in a neoliberal gorgon dystopia
they also slow down videos if I use Firefox.
YouTube can eat my ass.
Really? Guess it hasn’t hit me yet. I use Firefox and haven’t noticed any slowdowns.
I use an old outdated version of FF because the new v3 google bullshit isn’t supported for my os version.
it was working fine one day and then a week after the official “cut off” it just slowed down and dropped quality.
it’s ok though. I don’t mind switching the quality and waiting for videos to buffer.
If it takes too long to load I just use yt-dlp to download the video or whole playlist and watch it later. Do I care that it’s putting additional strain on YouTube’s servers? Indeed, I’m devastated and overtaken with guilt 😂 These are tears of regret, I swear 😂
yt-dlp is fucking awesome and it will be a sad day if it ever gets taken down or blocked.
They’ve already tried this.
We’ve already sidestepped it.
It’s just going to keep on going like this till a viable alternative shows up.
How? I’ve been noticing buffering the last few days with 1080p60 videos and up even using the suggested app version in Revanced.
“Might”? They’re already doing it.
YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can’t watch anything above 720p on my desktop anymore (with gigabit internet).
YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.
where do you get your YT Revanced from?
https://revanced.app/ is the only official source (along with the GitHub, of course.)
I was watching 4k yesterday. 🤞 Ublock has it sorted by the time they find me.
This does not happen on my Firefox. 4k no problemo with 3rd world country internet.
They do it to groups of people at a time to prevent mass anger and hysteria. Don’t worry you’ll eventually get throttled too.
YouTube might bite me
How desperate can you be to put yourself out of business?
We need to find ways to pressurize the content creators to upload to alternative platforms like Odysee, Rumble, Nebula, Peertube, Misskey etc…
Nebula is an invite basis
