The other day, they made some change that made the video appear to buffer while I presume it was trying to play an ad. Thankfully, the guys at uBlock managed to block it within a day or two. -- user <candycane> is generated from /dev/urandom

Yes, that too, since ad-blockers also reduce their ad impressions. Remember, youtube/google are, first and formost, advertising companies. Anything even remotely useful to us (video streaming, search, etc.) is a far distant second to the needs of those advertisers. If they could still serve ad impressions but not offer all those secondary (to them) useful services, guess where the useful services would go.....
