YouTube appears to be reducing video and site performance for ad-block users

YouTube seems to be punishing ad-block users with reduced performance.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social I haven’t had a single YouTube vid play through today.
I don’t actively use any ad blockers to my knowledge. I see YouTube ads all the time generally, using default mobile safari.
