Why do not videos load like they used to or why is the buffer so small these days?

At that time, for example, Youtube videos loaded directly through and nowadays on Youtube Netflix and Co. Loads the video always up to a point and then stops.

Can I still remember well when we had only internet with 256kbits and then you just pre-loaded videos 1-2 minutes.

Something about your line will be wrong - either generally very slowly or with strong break-ins. I would also test another browser or another device.

It's the other way around: Back then, videos pre-buffered at low speeds, with increasing bandwidth, pre-puffing gets shorter and the video gets fully charged faster.

On my line it is not, that is 25MB / s, it's not that the videos with me do not load it is purely for the buffer.

With NetSpeedMonitor I see that yes.

Start with a Youtube video of 20 minutes, press play and directly pause again. The white bar will not load through the full 20 minutes. The video always loads only when the red bar comes a little closer to the white.

For stagnation, the video is not there by, it's only about the buffer itself.

Oh well, yes, then probably just because it is no longer necessary, reload is so fast that it is not noticeable.

If you do not completely watch a video, the providers would also cause unnecessary traffic.

This is due to youtube. Primarily, it is probably meant to relieve the server.
