    I would guess you’re using a bunch of privacy protecting features that’s preventing them from verifying your browser/device. Unfortunately, being anonymous is the same as looking like a bot.

    Use NewPipe. It only ever gets blocked if you’re on VPN or if YouTube did an api update and the app needs to update to match.

      Only thing I use is the duck duck go browser. The problem is any YouTube links I come across. I’m just not going to click them anymore and I’m not interested enough to try to find a link for YouTube on newpipe. I’m not going to watch random videos like I did before while logged out of YouTube because it wont let me anymore. I’m certainly not going to watch them while logged in because it would screw up the shitty recommendation algorithm even worse.
