    “Might”? They’re already doing it.

    YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can’t watch anything above 720p on my desktop anymore (with gigabit internet).

    YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.

        They do it to groups of people at a time to prevent mass anger and hysteria. Don’t worry you’ll eventually get throttled too.
