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 wish I could make YouTube “experience suboptimal revenue” in retaliation, but sadly I can’t block more than 100% of ads.

      You can use Adnauseum, silently/invisibly clicks on every ad as well as hiding them so that the ads get worthless data, your info is drowned out with false stuff (there’s a term but I blanked on it), hurts ads

      Edit: Will disclose I don’t use it as though it’s based on uBO it’s worse and on the libgen.li book piracy websites uBO lets me actually download a book while Adnauseum doesn’t let me
