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 recommend letting content creators about this and suggesting alternatives, e.g. PeerTube instances, Vimeo, etc.

So annoying. I have to restart Freetube so many times to play a video.

I sometimes get this with Mullvad in official YouTube app as well.

Grayjay still works

Try grayjay. It lets you use an account to bypass the block

If you’re using a VPN try connecting to a server in Albania, I’ve never had issues when connected from there for yt

I’m also having problems with Metrolist (YT Music) with songs not already in cache. It just stays there until I skip the song.

Their just mad they can’t track you as much. Switch VPN locations it takes sometimes many servers. Fuck them. Network issue.

Haven’t checked today since I woke up and went to work. But the post is 14 hours old, which means when it was posted I was happily watching some Red Letter Media on Freetube last night. So working fine for me (then at least). Will check when I’m home.

I use Bravepipe. It is working great. You can also consolidate bitchute and rumble feeds with youtube.

Free tube has never worked for me so i just use Invidious

Newpipe works for me, though im not using the release version. Edit2: nvrmind just had to wipe meta data cache and it works again.
