    Blocking adblockers apparently doesn’t work well enough so google resorts to various forms of gaslighting (delayed video playback, api randomly returning wrong video, and now skipping video straight to the end).

      Had the random API one the other day. Was nuts. Also the 5 second delay for Firefox too when it was a thing.

      I thought I was going insane with the wrong video thing. I have premium but also an ad blocker because the entire internet is a cancerous cesspit without one, so I wonder if I get hit with anti ad blocking measures or I was just tripping?
