YouTube is blaming that Firefox delay people been talking about on adblockers.

This delay isn't exclusive to Firefox, it's in any browser where a user has enabled adblockers including in Chrome. Disable the adblocker and this delay magically go away. This was done on purpose.

Not that I support anything their doing, but managing YouTube has to be an order of magnitude more expensive to operate than a streaming service. I actually think they could get some sympathy if they took more of a Wikipedia approach and we're more open about the costs to operate YouTube. However much we might hate Google, YouTube is practically a public good in the way it operates and the world relies on it.
An interesting idea. But non-profit is antithetical to Google’s business model.
How could hosting other people's work and at most giving them a cut of the ad revenue be more expensive than
A. Paying for streaming rights to other people's work. B. Creating your own works And C. Paying to host all of the above. ???
Unless you're saying that the hours streamed from YouTube is so vastly more than any streaming service that it out costs all the other costs Netflix etc has in licensing and content creation.
