    Why is everyone using catbot.moe? This website is so slow, that it cant load a single couple megabyte picture.

      do you happen to be from Germany on a Telekom-Connection? Then the answer is Telekoms abysmal Peering routing you over some backwater 10kbit/s routes

        They called me recently because I switched to a cheaper provider about a year ago, trying to win me back. When asked what I preferred about my current provider I said “the facts that I pay 10 euros less per month and that I can actually watch YouTube on Saturday evenings”

          These people get awfully quite really fast once you say the word “peering”

          yeah. out here I only get the choice between Telekom and Vodaphone. I’d rather take my chances w/ Telekom all things considered and then use Mullvad so that content actually loads.

          Its insane to me that Net neutrality is a big topic, yet Telekom can just extort services for money in addition to receiving money from end users.

      I’ve never had that issue with catbox, literally the exact opposite, on any account or VPN connection I’ve used. Easily have loaded hundreds of thousands of catbox links, both images and videos.

      So much so that I look for those links over others when there are content mirrors because they have been more reliable from my experience.

      odd, catbot.moe seems to be the best. loads instantly for me unlike weird twitter stuff or google stuff. though that’s my trackerblocker
