Firefox users are reporting an ‘artificial’ load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it’s part of a plan to make people who use adblockers “experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using.”

I’m just gonna use whatever workaround someone develops for it. It’ll always be possible to spoof whatever bullshit they require, except:
I want to force them to actually make YouTube a paid service to get rid of “freeloaders”. That’s the only way to actually “solve” this for YouTube.
And when they do this, it’ll collapse, and I, along with many others, will be forced to stop using it. And that’s when real change will happen, because then the masses will be behind it.
If you actually stop using it, then YouTube won, in my opinion. They got rid of the freeloaders but can keep their shitty business model.
I’ve thought about this before. If YouTube collapsed, it would be a good thing because someone would develop something to fill the void, or we’d all start using Peertube or something
