    My videos are also randomly going from 4k to 360p, and having long hitches/pauses

    I’m seeing this as well. Except I’m not using an adblocker on youtube, and I am paying for youtube premium…

    I don’t think it’s entirely caused by youtube fighting adblockers. I think it’s more likely just a regular, boring, old fashioned fuck-up.

        I have my reasons. You may not agree, but you also don’t live in my house.

        Think it’d be fixed by then if it was a fuck up

        Who knows. If it’s not impacting a signifigant percentage of viewers enough for them to complain it may not be a high priority yet.

      Haha that reminds me of a period of my life where I realized it was possible for game devs to detect piracy but instead of making the game say, “not legit copy, cannot play”, it would be more subtle and make itself unstable and eventually crash.

      I had a pirated copy of RCT3 that would crash regularly after a few hours. Thought maybe that’s what was going on, plus it was a good game and worth my money anyways, so I bought a legit copy and installed that.

      A few hours into playing, it crashed again.

      Oh well, other than the crashing it was still a good game so I don’t regret buying it. And I think they sorted it out because my more recent plays didn’t see any crashes. I even bought it again on Steam since I’m not entirely sure where the disc is and don’t have a drive to read it anyways.
