YouTube "Sign In to confirm you're not a bot"

3mon 8d ago by piefed.world/u/aloofPenguin in google@lemdro.id from media.piefed.world

tried to open a YT link a friend sent me, and got greeted with this. Freetube and yt-dlp are also affected

Happens all the time with me too, i just suffle my vpn until it works. I see you said you don't gave a vpn, but maybe if you shuffle one, it'll let you through.

I did try a VPN (selfhosted OpenVPN as well as one provided by my university), but those didn't work. I did try through invidious, and it worked.

Happens to me regularly (using newpipe/tubular), they'll let you back in after a few hours

It happens to me sometimes when I open it without being logged in. I usually close the video, it's not worth the effort to find it again on the logged in session.

Do you use a VPN? Because I have this all the time for me. No way I'm logging in do watch a video.

nope. mine wasn't on at the time. Just uBlock + Privacy Badger + Waterfox. Never had this happen to me before.
