    I am a premium member but over the last week or so my YouTube videos suddenly started to take an eternity (5-10 seconds) to start playing when they were near instant before. Does YouTube assume I have an ad blocker? I have no Chrome Extensions and no deliberately installed Ad Blockers on Win 11. Going to play around with it tomorrow to see if I can determine what is going on.

      I have pihole and premium. I get a lot of buffer stalls too. Started recently. But they’re also updating the Android app every couple weeks, so I assumed they are screwing things all up out of incompetence.

      This must be some exec’s hard focus right now. What a tool.

        I’m in the same boat, wondered what was up with this weird buffering that I’ve never had before. Guess I’ll white-list YouTube ads…
