I even tried yt revanced. None of them works

I’ve noticed that Google is getting more and more aggressive with VPNs. It won’t let me load anything on VPN without logging in. This applies to third-party tools like yt-dlp too.
This probably depends on your VPN provider. Perhaps I can make a throwaway google account just to get it to stfu? I don’t know how hard it is to make a semi-anonymous Google account nowadays.

Requires a phone nunber, at least most of the time
Depends on how you sign up. If you sign up with Gmail or Google TV they do not, last I checked.
Interesting, will try that next time. Maybe from a coffee shop without a VPN to have a better chance
