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

I think this is specific to your network. The only time I’ve seen a difference between them it’s been the other way around, and IPv6 has been around for long enough that I think breakage related to IPv4 hackery will be more common than early-adopter IPv6 breakage.
Random question: You’re not on Verizon by any chance, are you?
The default ipv6 issue was mostly when I try to play 8k HDR 60fps on youtube. 4k is BARELY fine (maybe very close when 4k HDR 60)
Yes, I understand that you’re having issues with IPv6. You’re not on Verizon by any chance, are you?
nope
Hm, I only ask because I observed Verizon playing games with degrading Youtube service apparently on purpose in the past.
shrug
Glad you got it sorted out, in any case.
