The fuck?? Isn’t this anti competitive behaviour?

[–] [email protected] 336 points 11 months ago (2 children)

In a previous generation, governments would go after this blatant anti competitive behaviour.

It’s just a shame that there’s really only one government organization globally that will still stand up to corporations.

To be fair China will send you to a reeducation camp or disappear you if you try to act like a western billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago

China will make you disappear for many things including speaking up against the genocide of religious minorities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The current US Federal Trade Commission is quite agressive compared to other FTCs historically.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

True. Though they have been stuck with 30 years of damage simply reverse too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Think of it as 30 years of rent they're now claiming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Yes, but they haven't fixed this specific problem that just broke in the last day or so, therefore the FTC is a corrupt useless organization that pours hot wax on kittens

Some people are reporting it happens when your accounts get flagged by YouTube for blocking ads and that using a private browsing session can be used to bypass it, so it's possible this isn't a blanket thing?

Either way, they can go fuck themselves.

If you're on Firefox and using uBlock Origin (which you should), you can add the following to your filters list to essentially disable the delay:

! Bypass 5 seconds delay added by YouTube
www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), 5000, 0.001)

It doesn't fully disable it, just makes it almost instant, because Google has been doing shit like looking at what gets blocked to combat ad blockers recently.

I use youtube without logging in, and it runs normally. If I use a private window, that's when I get a delay when loading videos.

Thanks I'll get back to this later

Do you want to hear about the Microsoft "bug" that affected Firefox that was only recently fixed after 5+ years of getting reported?

Corporations really hate non-profit products that are superior.

If you're networked with the right people in the US, laws don't matter

Yes. It is. And consumers can't do a thing about it.
