Are you using NordVPN on your phone?
Multiple users have reported this being an issue when running NordVPN’s Threat Protection (this can run even when VPN isn’t connected). Turning off “Connect on Demand” in Settings->VPN->Threat Protection seems to fix it. Of course, if you want/need Nord’s TP then you’re stuck at the moment.

How can you determine that? It only occurred after an iOS software upgrade.
Let us know what you find out from NordVPN.
I was running an ad blocker on my iPhone. As soon as I turned that off, the video issues on the Bluesky app disappeared.

Hello, Maurice,
Thank you for getting back to us.
Based on the DNS leak test results, your DNS requests are not leaking and the connection is established properly (the DNS IP that gets detected belongs to the same server that you are connected to).
To further troubleshoot your issue, please try refreshing your browser's cache first. You can check the tutorial on clearing the cache here:
https://nordvpn.com/blog/how-to-clear-your-cache/
Later, please try using these servers and see if your issues persist:
Canada #1596 - 185.153.179.160
Canada #1597 - 185.153.179.162
Canada #1746 - 84.39.151.228
Canada #1582 - 185.153.179.132
Canada #1747 - 84.39.151.240
Canada #1686 - 176.100.43.40
Canada #1566 - 185.153.179.100
Canada #1595 - 185.153.179.158
Canada #1745 - 84.39.151.216
Canada #1752 - 45.90.222.104
To connect to a specific server, simply open the NordVPN application and type its number in the server search field. For example, to connect to a United States #3015 server, type: "United States #3015", "3015" or "#3015".
Let us know how it goes!
Kind regards,
Vicente

Ask Bluesky, this is not an Apple issue.
Apple doesn’t own, make or provide anything called blue sky.
Therefore any application, service or website called bluesky isn’t an Apple issue.
How can you determine that?
Because it is not up to Apple to make third party apps compatible with iOS updates. It is up to the app developer to keep up with upgrades.
Thank you. I also asked Bluesky and you are 100% correct. I have contacted Nord VPN requesting a solution. Thank you for your kind and helpful input.
