Oops I think the Invidious link needs some time to begin working for a new video, I don't know why.
edit it is working for me now
Edit: the message seems to reference a challenge I’m not seeing. I turned off content blockers but didn’t see a change.
Original response:
Not sure, this is what I get. I’m pretty sure I’m not a bot:
Error: access denied: denied by administrative rule 653249cebe8a37b97cf64b61ecf8f969/81a4d3ff51d16981b7d8
Why am I seeing this?
You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up go-away to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies and bots aggressively scraping websites.
Since the Invidious API is disabled for everyone, bots have now started to scrape the /watch page which is the one that serves video information to you, the user, bots are disallowed to touch the /watch endpoint at all, but they don't follow the rules in order to keep the Invidious working for real people simply trying to watch a video, that is why this challenge is displayed to you to verify if you are using a browser or scrapping the site.
Please note that some challenges requires the use of modern JavaScript features and some plugins may disable these. Disable such plugins for this domain (for example, JShelter) if you encounter any issues.
Not just you; it does the same to me. I've never been there before, and not even on a VPN right now . I guess they have just mass-banned IP ranges or something.
Pretty sure they had to take drastic measures, nadeko would barely work most of the time until they implemented this.
