    I don’t think this will do what they think… While i understand their pop up, the general public is just going to say “huh, youtube is slow” and either move on, complain to their isp, but a new computer, or stop using YouTube and spend more time on insta/tiktok. My parents for example, have done the first three (well they almost bought one until I convinced them why it’s happening) and are working on just not using YouTube as much.

      True, I am seeing a bit of movement off of youtube to other platforms. Ticktok/Insta for most. At least the younger friend group.

      Youtube may go the facebook way if they continue what they are doing. There is competing services in the space, but nothing that has a “killer feature”. Youtube has the network effect. But so goes twitch. Nebula, etc…
