Google is waging war on ad blockers — throttling YouTube to force users back in line
It's not a problem if you have a modicum of patience (the video takes like 10 seconds longer to load and that's all I'm seeing different), but I do love the passive-aggressive little "Experiencing interruptions? Find Out Why" popup they've implemented to show up in the bottom corner. So, so petty. Whatever executive came up with that idea is an absolute tool lol
You can block that pop up with ublocks picker tool
I quite like it, makes me feel powerful when I scoff at it because I'm also a petty bitch 😂 thank you for the advice though, I appreciate it!
I just assume they are skimping on support, like all those 'higher than normal call volume' bullshit.
Oh no, the link explicitly blames browser extensions like ad blockers -- they're fully intentionally trying to trick people into disabling and blaming their ad blockers
