Youtube lagging adblockers again is a **** idea.

Youtube premium should be worth only $0.71 and we don't want to pay those fake news spreaders.

Yup. Classic google ~ guns out first, politely request later.

only good enough revenue to pay those developers and not those youtubers who spread fake news.

No problem on my end with firefox and ublock origin.

Don't know if google has rolled out the update that would, in theory, for now, stop all ad-blockers in chromium.

Firefox will still work so I hope everyone will switch to that, or other none-chromium browser. Though there aren't many.

youtube is literally malware now

straight up integer overflow crashes on my browser from the sheer amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ads it's trying to load

[secuda]

Is it thats why my "live" videos sometimes buffering?
Becuase i have adblock.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

They are on Chromium browsers and with certain adblockers that haven't updated to compensate for it yet.

Edit: 3 of 5 adblockers I've tested were recently updated to mitigate the issues.

I swapped off of Edge like 4 or 5years ago because it couldn't run Youtube videos

I'll rather pay for Youtube over xTwitter that subscription for an echo chamber... Yet saying that, I won't.

Youtube lagging out due to Ad blockers was actually a bug issue and should of been fixed by now. It's a simple retry loop. Youtube detects a script file is missing from the webpage and retries to download it each time the ad blocker denies it, rinse and repeat. The loop lags out and wastes your bandwidth retrying each time to get that missing file. To fix, they just need to cap the retry amounts to say only 3 to 5 attempts max or prevent retrying that certain file all together, if detected as blocked.

There's still time to fight back tho, else go for FOSS alternatives or Youtube competitors.

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

aside from a few video game videos there is like nothing worth viewing on youtube.

anything good or funny gets DMCA'd
anything like music just get from the artist directly
most celebs and comedians influencers have long since gone away to other venues like tiktok b/c of how bad youtube is.

literally most grifters now are A.I. videos and nothing really interesting.
