How long before YouTube starts charging a fee to get faster speed?

To all of you saying i have a slow connection, all you have to do is Google "youtube buffering slow" and you'll find thousands of topics.

It aint just me. And you cant even pre-load vids anymore b/c the buffer doesnt go too far beyond wehre u stop

I've been getting this a lot. I thought i could pause it and let it load. But no. WTF am i supposed to do? Back to downloading instead of streaming.

Google owns youtube, right? Then the answer is never.
Pretty much. They'll just keep upgrading their infrastructure bit by bit

Sometimes the vids are slow. This is true.

But ya'll cats who see ads...I don't even know what a YouTube ad looks like, just use Chrome and install the Ad-Block extension from the Chrome Store.

What the hell are y'all talking about

YouTube videos still load if you got it paused

If any of yall fukking with noscript that might be what's stopping the buffer

No, not all of them.

Alot of the old ones still load, but alot of the newer ones dont load completely.

It's really a mixed bag for whatever reason

It might be cause I use adblocker I guess (how the fukk do people watch YouTube without that shyt anyway) but videos only load to a certain point now and it's been like that for awhile
