i can't be the only one that gets this
every time i open a new youtube video it's always extremely frustrating because the 15 second ads take a minute to get through just because of the sheer amount of buffering---then i get to the actual video and it runs smooth as can be at 1080p. i'm just confused because it seems really counterproductive for youtube to make their ads run slower and the videos run longer---i'd think they'd want the opposite for sponsors
i don't use any adblock or anything, can someone explain why this might be happening
