I find YouTube's UI performance quite bad but at least the performance of the videos themselves is good.

By UI performance I mean I click to go to the homepage and it loads a blank homepage with placeholder video thumbnails then spins for 5-10 seconds. I have fibre.

Also, you open a video and want to click fullscreen? Oops, [ ] button just-displaced due to reflow.

You press up arrow to up the volume? Oops, the seek bar had blue focus frame and you skipped five seconds instead.

You wanted to skip five seconds with a right arrow but missed and pressed numpad 0? Oops, you jumped to 0:00 and there’s no way back, not in this 5 hour stream record.

Buttons load for extra ten seconds, there’s a visible delay between click and actual pause, non-16:9 videos break the layout below the player, moving a song in a playlist jerks as hell or crashes the tab, and so on and so forth.

The usual “you are product not a client” is incoming, but I think that youtube ui team is just trash. There’s no prioritization of these issues, right, but having these in the first place on a site like youtube means you’re just incompetent.

I’ve never had this issue with YouTube ever and I also have fibre. I never had this issue with YouTube when I didnt have fibre.

I pointed out that I have fibre to preempt anything about it being designed for rich people in rich countries with good internet or whatever. The point was that it isn't an internet issue or a connectivity issue, it is a YouTube bug.

I am glad you havent had the bug. It is an annoying one. Your not having it does not make it any less of a bug for me though, unfortunately.
