A Conspiracy to Kill IE6 (2019)

YouTube and plenty of other sites worked fine on the typical computer of the time which would have IE6.

Over a decade later, hardware is much more powerful yet the site is even slower than it used to be. I've started using Invidious exclusively because of that.

Doing less with more is not "progress".

I haven't really noticed a slow down. Maybe you shouldn't base your entire world view on your own anecdotal observations?

one should not base world views on personal observations alone, but one should probably modify personal behavior based on those observations.

Do you mean he should witness and ignore the fact youtube had slowdown significantly for him and do nothing at all?
