There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
YouTube slowly trying to push me off their platform.
I will quit YouTube before watching ads.
Nice try reddit.
Huh. I had noticed that.
I fuckin knew it! I could’ve sworn this was happening. I would switch to brave to watch something and would be able to no problem. Fuckin bastards.
the reddit link is trying to force me to log in. Has reddit changed its policies again?
The link is wrong. Here’s the correct one

It seems the post here is linked to reddit’s sign in page. If you click the hacker news link, then the reddit link from there, it’ll get you there. Or use this link https://reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/17z8hsz/youtube_has_started_to_artificially_slow_down/
If Youtube isn’t allowed to check my browser if I use ublock origin. Is it allowed to check what browser I use and restrict curtain things?
I’m not an expert in such things but I believe ublock origin only filters what comes through to your browser. It doesn’t do anything to stop your browser from sending a correct user agent.
Am paying for yt premium (grandfathered from Google Play music.) Wonder if they’re doing that to paying customers.
I don’t think so, I have premium and use firefox and so far no problems
The team at the ublock origin sub have found a filter for ublock that disables it:

I had noticed too. Although I mostly use FreeTube by now I am a tab hoarder and if I open a YouTube tab with a video in Firefox it does take a few seconds until the page is displayed correctly after the tab has finished loading.
I’ve also noticed Revanced needs updated pretty often or it gets fucked. I really don’t want to have to switch to an alternative that doesn’t allow me to sign in to my account, but I refuse to give in to Alphabets demands.
That’s interesting, I’ve only had to update revanced once so far in about a year of use. Would it differ per phone?
If that’s real, I’m pretty sure the EU will have something to say about that, as well as the FCC. That’s a flagrant violation of net neutrality.
What’s the FCC going to say?
“Which Barrell would you like us to bend over?”
Well Ajit “fuck ajit pai” Pai is gone, so the FCC is actually trying to do its job again
