YouTube blames ad blockers for slow load times, and it has nothing to do with your browser | The delay is intentional, but targeting users who continue using ad blockers, and not tied to any browse…::YouTube has clarified in a statement that users who use ad blockers will have a suboptimal experience regardless of their browser.
Yeah it looks like they’ve switched away from the 5-second penalty for having ad blockers to counting down the number of videos you’ll be shown, then after 3-2-1 it’s ‘adblockers violate youtube’s toc’
To be clear that is not new, that was a thing already before. Like from around July some people were already getting that.
