If they know I’m blocking their ads, why wouldn’t they just block the video altogether? That’s what they currently do.
If it’s already blocked, slowing it down to “blocked… but slower” seems rather pointless?
They are probably trying to find that spot where it's just slightly more annoying to block ads than leave them unblocked.
A previous version of uBlock Origin (1.64.1b4) seems to work perfectly on Firefox, just in case.
and i might just stop using youtube. does youtube think there aren't other options?
For about the last 3 years I've been hearing about YouTube cracking down on ad blockers. Not once has it affected my. Ublock still stops ads on the browser. Revanced stops em on the phone.
How desperate can you be to put yourself out of business?
They've already tried this.

Can't slow down videos I've downloaded to my Plex server. 👍🏽

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they're philosopher kings because they play video games.
we live in a neoliberal gorgon dystopia
I mean, when I want to watch TV or Movies, I load it into my torrent program 🏴☠️ and let it download in the background. I could do the same with youtube videos.
Dang, thanks. I read the post, thought it wasn't happening to me, and I just realized that the start of some videos is being throttled. The more ya know 🌈
That's a lot of effort for a website that mostly offers background noise.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
