      I swear every time i try to use those links from the piped bot, the content either never loads or has severe buffering problems.

        You need to change your instance. Next time you face this, go to preferences and try changing the instance.

          Oh, the one that finds every YouTube link and comments a piped link in some communities? Yeah, I find that bot very useful too!
