YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads - feddit.nl

If they know I’m blocking their ads, why wouldn’t they just block the video altogether? That’s what they currently do.

If it’s already blocked, slowing it down to “blocked… but slower” seems rather pointless?

i have been blocking them fro 10+years with none other than UBO.
That’s probably a bad idea, as it makes it more likely YouTube will detect the ad-blocking. Better to add your own custom rules to UBO instead.
