And I’m sure it’s annoying you too. You can’t view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.

Isn’t there a way anymore where people can just link videos and for them to play? Fuck you, Google.

    Free VPNs will get that a lot.

    Even in paid VPNs, you still have to change servers until you find one that works.

    Proton VPN (despite CEO controversies) is probably the best one to get around that, since they have 11000 servers.

        I had this problem for a while. When my kid hit a certain age, he was good enough to search out what he wanted to see on YouTube, he kept getting into stuff he didn’t need to see. I tried various YouTube replacements, age restrictions, It was dicey there a number of creators that he watched that weren’t exactly kids material but provided educational value.

        I eventually ended up scripting some stuff to pull down new videos from his YouTubers on a daily basis. At some point or volume they would start blacklisting my IP for capcha.
