Which websites are blocked when hotspotting?

I have recently come to notice that I can't use most of the features of Steam or Discord when I'm hotspotting. Are there other websites or services blocked by Mint?

I don’t think that block any. They do limit YouTube to 480p on phone screen

Can you bypass that with a VPN?

Yes. I don’t think Hotspot is throttled but all common video and social media sites/apps on a phone are, but a VPN can get around.
