The article suggests YT Premium users are unaffected by the slowdowns. If you are getting slowdowns, you should message the article author so the article can be updated and YT can be shamed.

It might be an AdBlock error. As soon as I disabled AdBlock, YouTube returned to normal. (Brave, AdBlock, Youtube Premium)

It could be redundant. My logic is AdBlock does this full-time time so it should be more up-to-date and generally better vs the Brave blocking stuff. I may very well, be wrong, but that's been the logic. :)
