I watch YouTube through newpipe, and recently tried pipepipe too. They work great, but lately I have been blocked on several occasions with a message that either says "content unavailable" or "your IP has been blocked by YouTube". I usually use a VPN which has helped but tried it today and still got this message :/

Finally changing the location on the VPN seemed to work. But seriously wtf is going on?

I suppose that works, but that's quite drastic just to watch YT.

I'm not suggesting it as a solution as you can see from my original text, it's just a fun fact.
