Latest consensus is that YouTube performance issues seem to be Adblock Plus' fault.

That would explain why I didn’t have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

Anyone and Everyone with the slightest of computer knowledge but paid shills are plugging ublock origin everywhere and anywhere they can , and yet people still choose other garbages. You’d think that maybe they’ll see that tiny ‘sponsored’ text on top of the search result when looking for an adblock and go " why an adblock would advertise itself on search engines? this reeks of garbage, data siphoning bullshit adblock " but no, they even go as far as to defend it. I can’t even bother with these people anymore.

I miss when people trusted nerds instead of corporations. Applies to a variety of fields.

Adblock Plus was the only decent adblocker available for Internet Explorer 11 a couple of years ago. Only reason I used it.

I’m not sure you know what a couple is. Also, arguing with IE of all browsers is not going to make a strong case either.

Point at the case, because mine was an affirmation that it wasn’t good as I reluctantly used it.
