   Today, for the first time, #YouTube said I couldn't watch a video unless I logged in. In my browser! That always used to work.

   I think we're in trouble. #NewPipe, #LibreTube, #Invidious, #ViMusic - none of these can help anymore. Maybe yt-dlp, but that's not always practical, especially for hour-long videos. And even it gets broken every now and then.

   I used YouTube mostly for listening to music. I don't see any replacement for that. If we made a PeerTube instance and started uploading music like folks do on YouTube, we'd get in legal trouble in no time.

     @cosmin YouTube is doing that for VPNs now. It sucks.

     @cosmin If the video is tagged as +18 then you might need to login.

     @pesekcuy Yes, that's it.
     @jrballesteros05 I could accept +18, but in my case that was just some innocent music mix.

     I was just lamenting this kind of thing yesterday. #unix_surrealism has a post that takes it to the next level: https://analognowhere.com/_/ooriih/

     #YouTube #NewPipe #LibreTube #Invidious #ViMusic

     there's rumble.com and odysee.com

     I use Tor browser and yewtu.be or inv.nadeko.net for yt vids; both these work hobbled though. if you get error, change your tor circuit, boom, works again.
