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.
Basic facts of human psychology and behavior that most people in active denial about because it makes them feel/look bad.
Even talking about this stuff makes people VERY uncomfortable and angry. Especially given most people subscribe to just world theories that people are inherently good or evil and what happens to them in life is justified because of that inherent quality they feel usually is attributed from some universal force. People really can’t cope with how random ‘evil’ can really be.
The scariest part is that anyone can become anything, given the right circumstances. Nobody is inherently good or evil, and most of the people who endlessly moralize about others, themselves tend towards more evil behaviors. I especially enjoy how the ‘anti evil’ people are so eager to enact violence on others or in the name of others.
What are these facts?
The separation between human beings and screaming monkeys throwing poop at each other is a lot closer than most people are comfortable to admit, to the point where there is significant overlap.

It’d be miserable but man if we gotta skip some lunches to dethrone unjustified authority structures I’m so down. 👍
People really do not like to be reminded that the only thing that separates us from animals is our ability to save information.
Seriously, it all comes down to collected knowledge.
