YouTube has gotten way better in the past couple of years. When they first launched DASH streaming, it was terrible on high-latency international connections. If a US-based content creator uploaded a video and you were the first to view it in your region, you could actually notice how it was populating the CDN and it was unwatchable without disabling DASH and using the old-fashioned buffered player. These days it's flawless for me in nearly every situation.
