like; you /can/ still watch youtube on an athlon xp 2600+ today, youtube still provides format options that such a cpu could support even without acceleration, it's just the youtube website itself which is heavy as shit
there's lighter options still than youtube-local btw, even command-line/tui options
the reason why isn't that hard to grasp i think, they simply dont care about performance anymore. if it's tolerable on a 2 year old phone or 5 year old laptop... that's all they care about, since that's all most people use. it will be no surprise to you that there are practically nobody using an athlon xp 2600+ today, so it's not a consideration. i don't /like/ programs taking up /copious/ amounts more resources than they should reasonably need, but that's just how things are today.
