YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads

YouTube might bite me
USE PORNHUB, Start uploading your content there.
A previous version of uBlock Origin (1.64.1b4) seems to work perfectly on Firefox, just in case.
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 🌈
it already happened, it takes few seconds to star the video, a popup comes upa nd says, "whats slowing your video down"
But I don't have adblockers installed and I still get told to turn my blocker off. I have no extensions and YouTube randomly stops my video to tell me I'm doing it wrong.
Edit: I guess this is the result when dealing with the kind of users who refuse to watch ads, but also can't fuck off like decent human beings. Just millions of people who will climb your fence, pick your locks, smash your window, because they deserve to watch content, but they won't pay or watch ads.
