Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. (old.reddit.com)

    I mean this in the least condescending way:

    as far as I’m aware, even after looking it up, I think you are misusing the term blackpill.

    Blackpill usually refers to a manosphere/Incel or Qanon type who has given up completely and lost all hope. In the the case of an Incel it’s that there’s no hope in ever escaping Inceldom. In the case of q anon it’s that none of the predictions about the “storm” will ever arise or come true.

    I looked around and couldn’t find any other contexts that it’s used.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pill?wprov=sfti1#

    I am willing to accept that I could be wrong. But I looked all over search results etc.
