I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.
I’m a fucking ignorant moron on the vast majority of topics.
A dumb person will happily talk about everything as if they understand it. A smart person will shut about the things they don’t understand and be open to being educated.
