Why is Youtube so insanely slow?

[AR47]

Does anyone else have this problem?

It is for me. I think they purposely slow it down if they detect you’re using ad blockers.

I almost never watch YouTube at this point, so I don't think so. I can't tell when it's soy-JS code or just the site doing something like trying to block adblockers.
