Maybe you are too young to remember Youtube before it was turned into a webapp. It was _considerably_ faster. Todays version requires all sorts of odd refreshing bits and pieces. The old one just loaded right away and showed the video.
If I was paranoid, I'd think that Google did it on purpose to push Youtube Red ads at us.
- boubiyeah 9y agoAgreed youtube as a webapp brings no value whatsoever. Someone at google wanted to rewrite it with newer techs to update its CV? :) PS: It downloads that crappy polymer that weights more than 1.5MB... ffs
