Is YouTube completely sure it's the ISPs and not the fact that YouTube has gotten really shitty as of late anyways?

"Hey, our comments section may be one of the most horrifying ones on the modern web, but at least it loads quickly!"

(Though to be fair, their servers do balance load/prioritize based on video popularity so some of the less well-known channels' videos do genuinely take longer 'because of' youtube.)

edit Oh, unless you meant the privacy thing (linking to google/g+)... or the newer thing they're doing, blocking out smaller/'indie' musicians, if you were referring to that.... or - well, any number of things really. 'Youtube's making itself worse' seems like a widely-expressed sentiment.
