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 haven’t had that issue. I’ve heard that disabling adblockers resolves it. But people have said that spoofing their user agent to chrome also magically resolves it…
i remember back when hulu was first starting.. free with ads. at times all you got was a black screen with a message about adblockers instead of the ads, and for the same length, which was still better than having them.
you could also just run the title to the end, then skip-back to the beginning and not have ads for the replay. so i just ran on two PCs. i'd watch a 'replay' on one pc without ads while getting the next title 'ready' on the other--flipping back and forth with a kvm.
Commercial breaks were when you muted the television and had about two minutes to go to the kitchen or use the bathroom. Even if it’s forced, I’m not watching them.
