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.
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.
