Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

TikTok isn't YouTube. It's two different method to consume videos. TikTok doesn't replace YouTube per se. Some people split the available attention time between them and in favor of TikTok.

It will be hard to compete on the YouTube field. But, there is multiple places for a different way to consume video with a different user experience.

On the YouTube field, it will be hard. I don't see creator moving with their community. The same issue has with let say Reddit, Twitter, etc.

That’s the commenter’s point: YouTube might not be replaced, but that doesn’t mean it cannot disappear.
