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've had this on freetube on desktop happen constantly over the last few months. Seems to happen after watching a certain time length on YouTube and then blocks me from watching on freetube or using YouTube embedded. It tends to come back for me after a few hours. All its made me to is cut back on my youtube subscriptions and watching by nearly 90%

Freetube, invidious and vacuumtube all stopped working for me. Getting error messages in freetube that looks like its getting xml when it expects json

It's been broken for a few weeks. They're aware but I think it's an upstream fix they're waiting on. In the meantime I use yt-dlp.
