"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.

No, but Plex can. I'd migrate to Jellyfin if you can as Plex started paywalling some of their services.

If it takes too long to load I just use yt-dlp to download the video or whole playlist and watch it later. Do I care that it's putting additional strain on YouTube's servers? Indeed, I'm devastated and overtaken with guilt
These are tears of regret, I swear

They banned my ip. Been looking at alternatives

The trouble with that is that there is barely any money outside of YouTube.

Idk how one gets content on Nebula, but I wish more creators would join. Ik nebula isn’t Fediverse like PeerTube, but I still really like it and think it’s worth the $30/year to not get ads.

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.

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.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they're philosopher kings because they play video games.

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...

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
