I remember watching YouTube in 720p HD back in 2009 on a mid-range laptop of the era and it felt faster than the current experience on an M1 where the page often stutters and takes seconds to load.

As far as I know, nothing changed on the video detail page to justify such a huge performance degradation. There's still a player, there are still comments, there are ads and suggested videos.

Everyone working on that pile of shit should be ashamed. They would've been better off literally doing nothing and just enjoy the incremental performance gains as the hardware got faster.
