youtube has become horribly unwatchable due to choppiness 1

I can't understand that no matter what I do, it seems youtube doesn't work very well. I figure it's the ads, frustrating because you get rid of spyware, whatever, run it on macs even and you will notice a large percentage of time noticeable choppiness sets in and it's too frustrating to watch.
What gives? Why can't it just work right?

Ya they need to start adding a pricetag to use youtube. That way they can have money to upgrade their servers and they're would be no more lag!

Youtube is owned by Google, I don't think they have any shortage of money for server upgrades. They also make money on the ads.

I would rather wait a long time for videos to load, then have them be choppy, or something. At least be fucking watchable, ya know?
They need bleeding edge servers and that will help the tech market as they get a redundant amount of them, they could stop at some point, and things would be fine lag wise, just get more revenue in the long run anyway

No, but my folks do, and it's bad on that too. I even try letting it load fully, it never really does on youtube, it just limits you until you hit play. then it runs like shit

It's probably an internet connection problem because it's working fine for me.
But as you said, if you'd rather just wait for the whole thing to load instead of this choppiness. Just use a youtube downloader and save it locally to watch in a media player.
Pain in the ass but it will work for now.

Youtube is fine for me. Although they do change too much IMO. If it ain't broke don't fix it

Youtube has gone steadily downhill ever since Google acquired it. No google, I don't want to use my real name. No I don't want Google +. No. No. Stop trying to trick me in to using it, I don't want it. Fuck you. It's just a clusterfuck now.
I downloaded this program recently called 'You Tube Options' for the browser, you can customize anything on youtube so it's simple like how it was back in the day and it also starts videos in high quality etc. when they play. I like it a lot but google really fucked up youtube that's for sure.

I think I may go to using that. I haven't even "verified my email" and don't want to so I haven't been able to make comments, probably over a year now.

I like html5 better than flash, they just need to refine it.

They recently fixed them actually, they are much improved from before.
