Found this dusty antique from the days when video players would let you buffer. If only this were still a thing. (startrek.website)

YouTube still buffers video?

What he means is that, in olden days, videos would just keep buffering until the whole video was loaded. Now it's only at most the next ~1min, no more. You were able to see the grey bar thingie go all the way to the end.
