I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

    …these are the same kinds of people duped into voting for things against their own interest, they just know a lot about chemistry too.

    An IT career led me to meet plenty of people like that. But those are some doozies. I feel like basic competency needs a certificate similar to a GED etc.
