adding to this, some sites set the difficulty way higher then others, nerdvpn's invidious and redlib instances take about 5 seconds and some ~20k hashes, while privacyredirect's inatances are almost instant with less then 50 hashes each time

    So they make the internet worse for poor people? I could get through 20k in a second, but someone with just an old laptop would take a few minutes, no?
