After yet another crackdown on ad-blockers, YouTube users are noticing videos that load slowly and direct them to a support page about turning off ad-blocking extensions.

      What options? Where can I find stuff about fixing my motorcycle? Oceanliners? Deep Space documentaries? Fixing dieselinjectors in my car etc?

        hell of a lot less censorship, and better video quality there as well.

        Most of those things are better without videos anyways. So much wasted time to get to the point.

        As for documentaries… Are good ones actually on YouTube?
