I have no issues at all, once a vid is running. Choosing a vid takes much longer these days though, because the goddam stupid fucking algorhythm serves up 95% slop these days. Already viewed vids, ones expressly blocked, "news" stories that are YEARS old, or those in weird foreign languages, make up most of the garbage I get offered....
fine by me i listen to audio of videos i watch and i dont mind the lower resolution because it means im using less internet
ublockorigin etc... 5 second unnecessary delay, very annoying . that's my experience
So this is it. The enshittification has reached slowlorris levels.
That's a relief. I've been dreading the day when they introduce server-side adsm but it seems we're not there yet 😅 I'm not sure what they think they'll accomplish with this when it's A LOT less painful than turning off your adblocker and dealing with the ads, though. Maybe they're just trying random things to see what works.
