I think youtube has just started needing way more bandwidth than it used to. A few years ago, 100KB/s would load a videos page almost instantly, comments as well, and smoothly run 360p playback. Now even at 160KB/s I often spend 60+ seconds for parts of the page to even load.
That’s thanks to their shitty javascript. Gosh, I hate sites doing that so much
Just let me use my browser the way it’s intended to instoad of loading every shitty little html element dynamically with your shitty js doing shitty network requests dropping them like crazy
To be honest Youtube has always been slow to me, especially their streams. God, their streams are an absolutely resource hog, I’ve never seen a chat use up so much CPU power.
The last two times there were also errors like not being able to upvote anything. Later, I found it was a global youtube issue. YouTube needs to improve to be able to serve people at its scale.
I’m a paying YouTube premium subscriber and use adguard. But, I have been experiencing the YouTube app being slow in loading comments for some reason.
