The performance issues are because of Adblock and Adblock Plus: https://nitter.net/gorhill/status/1746263759495077919#m
It affects more sites than just YouTube.
People still use AdBlock Plus? I thought that was long since dead. You know, since they sold out and let companies pay them to show ads.
not everyone keeps track of browser addon news, so... yeah? it's been a most recommended and recognizable ad blocker for a long time, so lots of people are probably still unaware of the changes after all those years and stick with it.
That piece of news is like a decade old. There are people on the net now that weren’t even born when AdBlock Plus turned to shit.
again, you overestimate how much people are invested in addon news.
