6 days agoNot completely sure, but even as a paid YouTube Premium subscriber, when I open the website on my laptop (Debian 13, Firefox ESR and uBlock) it consistently takes anywhere from 10-20 seconds to load the page even on my 1gbps home internet while literally every other website loads pretty much instantly. I’ve been wondering the same thing as you tbh.
Just blows my mind that they even delay it for paid users but I guess I’m blocking a lot of tracking stuff too, even without any ads to block
