I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

    I thought this was commonly known to be how human society works. Sometimes with just power and not literal wealth, but the same concept.

      Well, it’s not common enough!

      I don’t think most people realize how most people are being herded like farm animals. They certainly don’t show it in their actions.
