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.

    Oh really? That’s kinda cool, I had no idea it had a name. I’ll have to search for more info on it.

    I both love and hate finding out my weird thoughts have a basis elsewhere. On the one hand I like that there is more to learn about it and more opinions and perspectives to see. Sometimes makes me feel less crazy. On the other hand I don’t like being reminded that I have zero original thoughts. And I worry that we are all equally crazy. Lol
