Little does YouTube know that I have one more trick up my sleeve:

Go do literally anything else with my time

Can't believe Ublock Origin never misses to block an ad, the absolute legend.

[Duamerthrax]

And yet, it's still not worse then watching an ad.

[justmattlee]

still faster than watching 1 unskippable ad + 1 skippable ad

[ryanlee]

this marks the first time i've ever hated your editing for how good it is

[grfrjiglstan]

My favorite part of this story is that even when it came out that this was the fault of a glitch and not an intentional move by YouTube, absolutely nobody believed it.

YouTube itself helped me get rid of my YouTube addiction🎉🎉
Amazing corporation who cares for their customers ❤❤

See you guys in 5 years when the buffering icon inevitably dates the video because Youtube always feels like changing up the UI every other season.

[steveman]

Youtube was concerned over people using low quality adblockers so they decided to incentivize people to use ublock origin.

I use as an extension that gives me extra YouTube ads because I like to feel different

[scapegoat]

I went to pause and unpause the video to fix the buffering, and then saw the progress bar still moving and actually laughed out loud. Unironically one of the funniest punchlines you've delivered.

[GippyHappy]

I'd rather sit through a few seconds of loading than be subjected to literally any amount of advertising.

[stefanristicmovies]

you know this is the first video i have ever seen in my life that accurately depicts buffering and not some janky recreation that looks nothing like the actual thing

[Customdevwakeup]

The fact that premium members are also affected elevates this from company greed ruining a platform to blatant stupidity ruining a platform

[DanBickeru]

Still using it and I'm not gonna stop. There are more ads than ever, and skipping often just leads into another one immediately now. They're not getting my money for shit.

[nnaann]

Remember when ads were a little textbox on bottom of screen at start of video that you could click X on immediately, no one even needed an ad blocker at that point.

[drakeburnett]

I love that instead of lowering the ridiculous amount of ads on their website, YouTube just decides to make it more un-usable than usual

[murkrowo]

That’s just called living in Australia

[itchyslender]

I got an ad that was longer than this video that was unskippable and would pause when I went off the screen, Youtuve is srsly desperate

[TheTrueRandomGamer]

I don't think YouTube understands how hydras work.
