YouTube Delaying Video Buffering #156

Open JTH366 opened 8 months ago

JTH366 commented 8 months ago

Hi, YouTube appears to be deliberately delaying videos from buffering, my workaround is to click on any video from the recommendations below the main video, once the page starts to load, click back on the browser and the video loads. Heck of a way to load a video - Is there anything that can be done

If you're on Firefox, it came out a few months ago that youtube had inserted a random sleep(5000) in the loading code for firefox. Maybe that's it?
