Or, maybe they're trying to kill adblockers so hard that they killed the whole homepage.

Revanced was giving me buffering issues. I don't update often and just assumed that was it. Took the five minutes to do that, and it has been fine since.

I never notice something like this because it always seems to happen when I'm sleeping in the middle of the night.

Ngl, I turned off my adblocker in a private window to see if that may have been the case. It was still fucked.
