Using uBO, but have noticed a slightly longer delay of a few seconds between hitting play and the video starting, but I can deal with that over being forced to watch 30s of ads.
Honestly it just felt like youtube's servers were shittimg themselves again, so I baely even register it as a real interruption.

They've already tried this.
We've already sidestepped it.
It's just going to keep on going like this till a viable alternative shows up.

"Might"? They're already doing it.
YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can't watch anything above 720p on my desktop anymore (with gigabit internet).
YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.
I was watching 4k yesterday.
Ublock has it sorted by the time they find me. -

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they're philosopher kings because they play video games.
Youtube acting like it has anything to offer
This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.

We need to find ways to pressurize the content creators to upload to alternative platforms like Odysee, Rumble, Nebula, Peertube, Misskey etc...
Nebula is an invite basis

YouTube was lagging to play vids the other day now i wonder if it was A B testing. screw off YouTube. 10 ads for a 20 minute video isn't normal and never will be. also the ads pause if you aren't watching them. wtf? as always I expect uBlock Origin to get around this

They do it to groups of people at a time to prevent mass anger and hysteria. Don't worry you'll eventually get throttled too.

I use an old outdated version of FF because the new v3 google bullshit isn't supported for my os version.
it was working fine one day and then a week after the official "cut off" it just slowed down and dropped quality.
it's ok though. I don't mind switching the quality and waiting for videos to buffer.

Oh no! You are going to make your platform work like ass? And you expect us to do mental gymnastics in such a way that instead of blaming you (you know the one that has control over the platform) we blame uBlock? The same uBlock that has made using your platform bearable for many years, to the point that I will sit in silence with the screen off instead of watch with ads?
I think even if you make us wait a min before playing the video most would take that over an ad.
