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)

I just go idle for a week or two and it works again. It seems like a soft IP block. I use a IPv4 address for yt-dlp so CGNAT sort of works in my favor here.

I really, really, really want to like peer tube. I mean, I truly, honestly do. But, at least currently, I can’t find any of the content I want to watch on it. lemmy and Mastodon have reached a critical mass where there is enough content to not need other services. Peertube is not to that point. My guess is that it is due to the fact of the bandwidth and storage needed to host the video and the fact that video content takes more effort to create.
