YouTube won’t let me watch this video with my VPN on. Is this a new thing?

No torrent needed, yt-dlp has you covered.

If you happen to be on an IP address Google likes.

YT-dlp is about an inch away from being wiped out by them. All you need is the gaze of sauron. Forced logon and remove cookies in lieu of browser storage would set us back ages.

At some point they’re just going to embed the commercials in the video stream or worse yet picture in picture them like broadcast TV did.
