They should disable this for people who use Premium. Although I'm happy to now know why my YouTube fell to bits starting on Friday... I uh.. pay for YouTube Premium so they shouldn't care.
- jonwachob91 3y agoThe article suggests YT Premium users are unaffected by the slowdowns. If you are getting slowdowns, you should message the article author so the article can be updated and YT can be shamed. I have refused to pay for premium b/c they frequently wrap up paying members in their silly antics, and don't have the foresight to exclude paying users from their ad-block efforts.
- neom 3y agoAccording to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39002083 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39002083 It might be an AdBlock error. As soon as I disabled AdBlock, YouTube returned to normal. (Brave, AdBlock, Youtube Premium)
- Eisenstein 3y agoWhy use AdBlock with Brave? That functionality is built in.
- neom 3y agoIt could be redundant. My logic is AdBlock does this full-time time so it should be more up-to-date and generally better vs the Brave blocking stuff. I may very well, be wrong, but that's been the logic. :)
