Firefox users are reporting an ‘artificial’ load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it’s part of a plan to make people who use adblockers “experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using.”

    I agree that compression has advanced steadily. I’m really referring to a break though. Something that gets 1080 videos down to 100mb.

    But more realistically, I think storage is where we need to look. If I can get a 100tb ssd for not too much, then I can more realistically host a video library.

    Bandwidth can be paid for, it’s fast enough. It’s just that the companies charge a ton for faster speeds.
