YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users (www.404media.co)

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."

Can we stop panicing every 5 seconds? Give adblockers 1-10 days and they will fix it. We have been through this a bunch of times.

I think it's less panicking and more informational. The enshittification of Google has commenced and this is just documentation.

Yeah, as long as it is a big enough problem on the internet, you will have at least one nerd trying to find a way to circumvent it.

Give them time.
