That’s the idea I’ve got lately. I used to have Spotify through a community that’s been taken down; NewPipe/PipePipe has problems 5 days every month. I found a great site to watch shows with good CC thanks to this community, and a few days ago half the servers weren’t working anymore, and the ones that are still working are slow, like unusable.
Is it just all a big coincidence, or is trying to make people exhausted a tactic?
Not for Youtube at least. They actively try to degrade performance for Ublock Origin users by refreshing elements that force ublock into a death loop that ends with exceedingly high CPU/RAM usage that potentially crashes your browser. At that point, I would say it goes beyond annoyance and into malicious activity.
But its not hacking when google does it.
I skip all that and use NewPipe and yt-dlp
So that’s why my browser keeps crashing
I’ve found that I can simply open a new tab for YouTube every so often, and close the old one. Perks it right up. Don’t even have to close the whole window.
Huh, guess that’s why I’ve never had this problem, I do this before I play any videos!
