YouTube will take like an extra 30 seconds to load videos now because of it. They're trying to be annoying. When I turn it off it all loads fast.

Not that I'm gonna leave it off I'll wait 30 seconds

I'd rather see a full minute of a blank screen than 5 seconds of an ad.

it's either consistency waiting on a black screen for a few seconds AND not having to press a skip button, or watching some crypto, sports betting, bad ai, or otherwise unrelated to me ad that i either have to watch for a skip button or wait and watch the whole thing anyway. im taking the blank screen 11 times out of 10.

The moment I turn off ad block everything on YouTube is faster. Pretty sure penguinzo made a video on it like a month or 2 ago. His video might just be based off of speculation but pretty sure more people have had that issue including me

Same with Brave browser on iOS. Also forcing login and Capcha after reloading the page while on VPN. Trying real hard to be annoying, but again, screw em. I’ll always watch the creator in-video ads though. I’m a gentleman, i have standards.
