My videos are also randomly going from 4k to 360p, and having long hitches/pauses. Thats assuming the page loads at all, which may take a few refreshes…and its not an internet/connection related issue.
happening with Firefox with ublock origin.

Honestly, the youtube pages (and only the youtube pages) act slow and laggy like the CPU is running at 100% doing hard number crunching. yet system monitor shows its not even breaking 10% load on the CPU, and that firefox’s process isnt even using half that, so it feels like theres something artificially slowing the page down, in retrospect.
I’ve been having this.

I’m seeing this as well. Except I’m not using an adblocker on youtube, and I am paying for youtube premium…
I don’t think it’s entirely caused by youtube fighting adblockers. I think it’s more likely just a regular, boring, old fashioned fuck-up.
Oof.
