been using links for almost 10 years and had an extremely positive experience until now. but nothing loads anymore and i’m about to give up on watching stuff because it’s more trouble than it’s worth

every streaming site i use primarily uses upcloud and vidcloud for servers. when i try to watch something, it takes a few minutes to initially load and then it will buffer very frequently before it inevitably fails and automatically switches to vidcloud. vidcloud will run for probably less than a minute before giving me the error message “This video file cannot be played. (Error Code: 233001)”

scenarios are identical on firefox and chrome. i use ublock origin as my adblocker if that makes a difference.

is there something i’m missing? literally everything was perfect until a few weeks ago

edit: forgot to mention that games run flawlessly on my wifi. i have download speeds of 380 Mbps
