YouTube appears to be reducing video and site performance for ad-block users

YouTube seems to be punishing ad-block users with reduced performance.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social They could have tried to find better ways to work with people. For example, the old simple text ad system. But no, instead they decided to double down. The thing is, this is one war they won't win, one way or the other. Whether people just keep finding ways around it or even finally start moving to other services, this can't (and must not!) work for Google.
