This seems as dodgy as fuck, anyone here experienced anything like this?

No, but I have noticed that more of the ads are getting through whatever ad blocker I use. Quite often now I'll get a static image and the video won't play until I hit the Skip button.

I use an adblocker (Ublock), but I had to disable it on YT as it just refused to play any vids with it active.

I haven't noticed any issues with uBlock Origin.

I did notice yesterday that YouTube was really slow and hogging a lot of resources. I have adblock on which I think is active when I am on YouTube.

Yep, even if you’re on premium. I would click fullscreen and it would lag out for a good 20seconds before working. If you put an exception in it goes back to normal so it’s only if you have an adblocker blocking ads on YT not if you have it installed but still, what a massive pile of fuck. Firefox are high fiving right now.

I noticed some mild slowdown with ABP over the last few days on Firefox, but Youtube seems to have sped right back up this morning.

Have uBlock Origin on Firefox and don't think I noticed anything unusual.

How many views does a channel have to have before you start getting paid for it anyway?

You can monetise from 1k subs, there's a monthly view hours target to hit as well, but when I was up to 1k I'd already exceeded that anyway...

Turns out the slowdown might be issues on AdBlock's end. YouTube have said they haven't made any changes and apparently the same issues are prevalent with other sites when using AdBlock. I've switched to uBlock.

Looks like it could be decent, certainly better than the most recent film. The voice actor they've chosen for Indy is pretty good, if maybe a little flat sounding - he definitely has Ford's cadence down though.

I'd definitely play that, basically looks like an Indy-themed Tomb Raider, which is kinda funny given as I'd imagine the original Tomb Raider was inspired by Indy! But it's a great genre for the franchise, and the fact it'll be day 1 on GamePass makes it a no-brainer.

My attention meter for this game just went from 3 to 10. Looks very promising.
