yt-dlp or embedded youtube links say “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” but for me the whole plan of this operation is that i don’t have to do that.
that’s pretty bad
(edit: it works again, i changed nothing just waited)

Glad to hear it’s working for you again. I did look around on yt-dlp’s github issue tracker and found one issue where the problem was that a user was downloading using a datacenter IP. I gather from this that it might’ve been a problem caused by your ISP perhaps giving you an IP that youtube sees as suspicious, or perhaps youtube messing up with their filters causing you to appear as suspicious by accident.
Good luck with your studies btw.
