Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. (old.reddit.com)

that half sentence in the aa article though

"That move makes sense in many ways, as the platform needs to make money to survive..."

should we also start a gofundme for youtube, i am suddenly worried for them /s

not saying we should worry for them, but youtube is run at a loss so they do actually need money from SOMEWHERE to maintain youtube. youtube still sucks and this is definitely not the way to win over users but thems the facts

Alphabet made $50 billion in profit last year. They've got enough to run YouTube, but enough isn't enough.
