I have 2ms ping to YouTube and my network is wired 1gbit so it was odd to get so many buffering issues. So i did a search and this solution immediately solved the buffering issue! Prefer IPv4 or disable IPv6 and it’s buttery smooth
Youtube recently implemented malicious design to make it lag when you don’t have premium and/or an Ad blocker
I thought this was only an issue with Adblock or Adblock Plus
Edit: Switched to Nitter
Just an fyi, any still functioning nitter instance won’t work much longer. Even the one you posted is already rate limited.
Oh, I didn’t know. Is there a working alternative?
Not sure. Just going off the announcement yesterday saying the method nitter used to show Twitter posts has been shut down by the site.
I assume any existing alternative was using similar workaround, so I’d guess any new alternative would have to find another, undiscovered method, which doesn’t seem likely.
Thanks for sharing! Disabling IPv6 fixed my buffering problems on Apple TV, wired with Premium. I suspected my pi-hole initialy. Its insane that Google is apparently incapable to properly network their services… even if you pay for them.
I’m glad you found this helpful. Is there a way to set preferred ipv4 on Apple ecosystem rather than fully disabling ipv6?
