I don’t think they do :?
You Tube is always buffering videos . . also if you click on another tab or anything else whilst playing the vid it will stop and start 8)

It is partly a function of your ‘connection speed’ at the time you’re playing the video and partly to do with YouTube ‘buffering’ the video – i.e. sending it down the pipe to you in ‘chunks’
If the ‘chunks’ don’t get down the pipe to your computer fast enough, then the video player will play all the file it has downloaded at that point and then stop and wait for the next ‘chunk’ to be available for playing.
This usually happens when a number of other customers (of your ISP) in your area are all using the internet at the same time and therefore there is only a limited amount of bandwidth available for each of you to use.
