     @snacks Traffic fingerprinting. The thing where the video starts, plays for exactly one minute and then stops with 403 has been in their playbook for years.

     @phnt didn't they ban people who's accounts they identified using adblockers for a while? There's no way they don't know which user is using 3rd party clients in this household if they can follow my ip changes

     @phnt @snacks They did apparently do some YouTube channel bans a while back before the smug popups. Using IPv6 I've not hit a single 403 when downloading with yt-dlp while IPv4 basically never works, with or without VPN active.

     @snacks I don't know about banning, but they did the smug "are you having issues" popup.
