Sounds like YT really wants users to sign up for YouTube Premium. They've probably noticed that the annoying pop-ups are not working.
 
What adblocker are you looking to use? I haven't noticed any issues with uBlock but couldn't hurt to be prepared.

I don't like being friendly to ads.

Indeed.
 
i have adblocker on my PC, but my TV doesnt. I really should get a Pi-Hole but its the family TV and im "not allowed to mess with it"
Its so infuriating that over the past year or so the number and length of unskipable adds has increased.
So glad adblock still works on PC.
Im all for creators actually recording adds into their videos, its an income after all, but the automated adds are just obnoxious.

YouTube has ads?
*Checks adblocker is still on*
Yea it doesn't.
 
Sorry I have nothing productive to add to the conversation.

Everyone wanted to be the standard. Now there are a lot of standards.

in the early 2000s pc building and overclocking was my biggest passion. I remember trying to get the best "score" in SuperPi :D. Pentium 4 Northwooth <3. Lost interest shortly after that and has been using old laptops since then.
Built a new PC a couple of weeks ago when my laptop died suddenly.
my new build consists of the following parts.
Corsair 275R
Ryzen 3600XT @ 4.525Ghz/4.55 Ghz (couldnt make 4.6ghz on all cores)
BeQuiet dark rock pro 4
MSI Tomahawk B450 Tomahawk Max
Corsair Vengeance lpx 3600 2x8gb @ 3800mhz
Gigabyte 3070 Gaming OC
Cooler Master MWE Gold 650.
I have kept up to date on tech news and have built a couple of computers for friends and family over that time but nothing for my self

Double data rate (DDR) will almost always list half the rated speed since it doubles it.

TL;DR: your RAM is running as it should now.
 
More info:
Mhz = millions of ticks per second.
DDR = Dual data rate
Your RAM runs at 1333 millions ticks per second, it's just that every tick the RAM can transfer two things, which results in 2666 millions of transfers per second, MT/s.
 
RAM advertised as "2666Mhz" actually runs at 1333Mhz, with 2666MT/s.
Memory advertising companies and your motherboard report back the 2666MT/s as "2666Mhz"
Software (like your OS and CPU-Z) report it back correctly; as 1333Mhz. 

1333MHz is the actual frequency, while 2666MHz (or rather MT/s) is the effective speed, hence the name DDR - Double Data Rate.
Pretty odd that Task Manager is showing it as that, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Double data rate (DDR) will almost always list half the rated speed since it doubles it.

Considering the kinds of questions I see here about every 5 minutes, I'd say 99% of the people here have never even heard of Google or the concept of trying to find answers themselves first.

Graphics and physics might be the only things steadily improving in games, while most of what makes games fun is diminishing. I've fallen out of gaming for years because  I find most games are just not replayable. There are a few reasons why:
 
1.) Too much emphasis on online multiplayer, and little attention to single player modes or any actual storywriting. KOTOR and KOTOR II are examples of great storywriting that you can play over and over again.
 
2.) Maps and storylines are too restrictive. I'm at the point where I only play open world or nearly open world games because they are almost infinitely replayable. For FPS games, Ghost Recon Wildlands is my current favorite because it actually allows for strategy and tactics, not just blasting through a map that funnels you a certain way and limits any creativity.
 
3.) Reliance on DLCs has just gone too far. It feels like a lot of games are just shipped 60% complete and you have to buy DLCs to fill out the rest. That's unacceptable.

Games need to be fun now, they're plenty pretty.
 
Alternatively, become more visually appealing in different ways. Look at cuphead for example, stylistic and gorgeous, intentionally looking old.
 
Alternatively, I rather enjoy remasters of a game I love. The new demon's souls remastered is gorgeous, and the game foundations themselves are so solid that the only thing the game needed was a facelift and technical update.
