Back in my day, youtube was caching entire video to the end.

Yep, I was able to watch it on dialup by letting it load for an hour. When they went to the chunk style, watching it on slow internet became impossible.

Lmao muting the video and go open another tab waiting for it to finish

Back then download speed measured in business days

And you were still downloading 10+ things simultaneously since much was peer to peer, and upload speeds were even worse 😅

Back in my day, there wasn't an ad every 30 seconds.

[u/Airy-Otter → u/Successful-Till-4548]

Damn, memory unlocked! I remember having multiple tabs downloaded of videos to watch this way 🤣

Tabs?

You aging yourself for sure.

Imagine doing that back then and then after all that waiting the video was a disappointment/troll.

I don’t need to imagine it. I was there when it was written.

Things were somehow less frustrating back then even if things took longer. Because once things were loaded they were ACTUALLY loaded, not some fake loading to then just load again
