Really? I haven’t experienced such delays. I am also on 1gbps and videos start within 1-2 seconds max, usually less. I’m on Devuan Linux, Vivaldi with uBlock Origin.
Someone mentioned it on Lemmy which made me notice it, but on both of my Linux desktops it started happening. 1gbps wired internet, Ubuntu and Debian, Firefox with uBlock. Definite and deliberate 10 second pause when starting a video.
Yeah they gave a delay to Linux and/or Adblock users awhile back.

Hmm, I wonder if it’s Firefox specific then?
Maybe for the moment.
Just blows my mind that they even delay it for paid users but I guess I’m blocking a lot of tracking stuff too, even without any ads to block
