quoting note12ay…6gm5YouTube very recently started aggressively banning IPs, mostly non-residential and forcing sign-ins.
yt-dlp and many invidious, piped instances affected: 403 errors or "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community"
Google's concept of community is wanting you to swallow their sludge advertisement and control your speech.
I take this as a challenge.
Piped is great but it was obvious that proxying would be shut down one day.
Even though I'm busy AF, I started prototyping something to take back great Youtube content. Involves nostr, blossom and ecash. More soon
