FeelThePoveR@lemmy.worldtoTechnology@lemmy.world•YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox UsersEnglish

11 months agoI don’t know how stupid YouTube devs would have to be to:
-
Tie the delay that was supposed to fight AdBlock to user-agent (changing it to chrome fixes the issue)
-
Ignore Youtube Premium users that pay for ad-free experience
For those reasons I think it’s pretty safe to say that this goes beyond stupidity and into malice territory.
Just block the popup they can’t do shit if you don’t accept it.
