Massive props to the uBlock team for immediately fixing the issue.
Youtube making their site purposely slow is kinda sad to see. That can basically lead to Youtube's reputation going down. 😢
Can only imagine how good it must have felt for the dude at uBlock that instantly caught the bug and fixed it effectively making his product work leagues better than the competitors in an instant. That's a 10x engineer moment right there.
Nothing is more bothersome than listening to the audio go at a normal pace only for the YouTube video to speed up and throw everything out of sync
Not only are the videos running slow for ad blockers, but for people that don't have ad blocker and wish to report an ad and then manually block it (so that youtube skips the ad entirely), the page takes a full 5 seconds to load before you can block it. Making the page stay up for as long as the advertisement would have originally stayed up. A few months back this was not an issue at all, and I used the report ad option to skip ads all the time. But I believe youtube has purposely made the report page load longer to stop manually ad block abuse. They REALLY want people to see their shitty ads.
i love how the more youtube tries to prevent adblockers, the more users begin using adblockers
An important detail to note is it's not just the browser it slows down but straight up your hardware, especially those of us with lower spec systems. I legit thought I'd gotten a virus or something because my CPU went into overdrive and sounded like it was gonna take off and fly outta my room like a goddamn UFO...
Getting real "early factory owners secretly tampering with their clocks to keep workers at their desks for longer" vibes
Imagine the long-term effects of this, if the delays really are YouTube's fault. Many people will just stop watching YouTube if they can't use there adblockers, and then, think how that will affect content creators. These are dark times we live in...
This is exactly what's been happening to me. I thought my computer was breaking. Jesus Christ. I can't believe how badly the internet has fallen these past decades.
