Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers

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.
