Is there also a trick to make it less slow to load, like old.youtube or youtube.classic or something? I mean, they have no performance goals or what?

Youtube redux just changes the CSS

Idk, try different browsers, VPNs, VPN configurations? I don’t usually have trouble with loading stuff… it takes a few seconds which is to be expected

There are user agent switcher extensions for FireFox et. al. that can sidestep the garbage, anticompetitive throttling Google does against FireFox.

It's also nice for those certain stupid websites that think they cannot work in FireFox...
