I'm A YouTube Premium subscriber, and I've been noticing this delay on my TV for a few days now - a very noticeable, long pause when opening the home screen until the thumbnails are loaded. I'll explicitly check other places too now, I'm not sure if it's also happening in Firefox for me.

If Chrome is known for one thing, it's absurd User-Agent strings. Why not make it even more absurd???

I noticed a delay on Opera with uBlock. I attributed it to invisible fights between the adblock and youtube. But idk if that's relevant, I think Opera GX is chromium based.
Did not notice it today, but I am running ublock origin and they got my back.
i was wondering about this! very dumb.
They have all the decision makers in their payrolls. They will stop at nothing !
Bro.....
Honestly thought this was a glitch because it has happened before where youtube would freeze, usually from some backend error, and the whole page wouldn't load.
Really getting desperate lol.
This is antitrust worthy
