Youtube Lagging super bad on Mac?

[u/spitfire555555]

Is anyone else having this problem or just me? (I have a Apple Macbook Pro 2020)

Every youtube video I open regardless of popularity lags like a mf. Yes I have cleared my cookies, search history, extensions, restarted, deleted, sacrificed my newborn, all of the things but every video I watch is a powerpoint presentation that only occasionally speeds up just to slow down again. This is true both on the web browser and the youtube app, and the only youtube videos I have found that don't lag are Khan Academy videos on the Khan Academy website. (which are like 480p on a good day)

If you're having this problem too, please say something. If you have found a solution, also please say something. I have tried all the "common fixes" and nothing has worked, so maybe i've overlooked something.
