Ask HN: Has YouTube been slow for you recently?

Over the last couple of days I've been having issues playing videos on YouTube in Firefox. I wondered if anyone else has experienced slowness? I've asked around a couple of my friends and they're experiencing the same thing. Usually the video won't autoplay and I have to wait a few minutes for it to work then sometimes it will buffer in the video (the last time i remember that happening would have been 10 years ago).
