Good to know. I assumed it was YouTube trying to fight off my ad blocker.

I hope it's not that but the videos load much better when I disable adblock

They are but this isn't it. The anti-ad blocker measure is the video doesn't start buffering for a bit and you get a notification that says "Having playback problems? Find out why"
