Following this problem on YouTube, many people claimed that the platform activated this through a code it deliberately added. However, YouTube blamed ad blockers for the slowdown issue. The company statement included the following statements:
“To support the creator ecosystem and enable billions of people to access their favorite content on YouTube, we’ve launched an effort to encourage viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad-free experience. Users with ad blockers installed may experience viewing issues regardless of the browser they use.”
