yeah, just read the Youtube comment sections.

The people on youtube are really slow.

Is YouTube still fucking you over if you have adblock enabled?

I don't have issues with uBlock, it seems their latest version runs smoothly.

The main YouTube site is slow though, even without an adblocker. It feels bloated and loads it's assets slowly, sometimes it won't even finish loading them until you refresh the page.

if you are blocking the ads you are not freeloading but costing them money, running costs are pretty high for video streaming platforms. So can’t really hate them for this

90% of content on Youtube is product placement / advertising at its core. These companies should foot the bill. Why should people watch ads on top of that or worse, pay for it.

Yeah, they can piss off for all I care. A 5s video doesnt need a 15s unskippable ad ffs

For me not anymore.

I watch a lot of YouTube, mostly on my TV and second close on Chrome with my generous good PC. From past week or I noticed a slower version of the app, but that doesn't make any sense

My TV is not the best nor either my PC. Still, playing Prime Video, HBO Max, Netflix or whatever, on both of them works fine, not YouTube

Is just with me?

Edit: Premium subscriber too, so no Ad-blockers

It sounds like you’re experiencing a specific issue with YouTube. Since other streaming services are working fine on your TV and PC, it could be a problem with the YouTube app or browser version you're using. Try updating the app or clearing your browser cache. If the issue persists, it might be worth checking for any recent changes or updates to YouTube or reaching out to their support for further assistance.
