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.”

    It’s punishing me and I’m using their app. Their video loading has been spotty as shit lately. And I know it’s not my bandwidth, I’ve got 5Gbps available and 12ms latency to YouTube’s closest data center.

    I’m not even blocking the ads when I use it.
