I use Firefox to look up a video, then I use yt-dlp to download or mpv to stream it, when I attempt to use FF to look another video up it's giving me this, so this is what I see 99% of time when I follow a link to YT nowadays.
All in all, I think it allows me to watch or download a video a day normally 😅
I HAVE TO rely on VPN to access it though and some of the exit nodes I use are known offenders on several list — that could be the source of the problem.

I'm not an avid YT user or anything so I'm perfectly fine with it. I think it's also true for other things Google — I have to go through hundreds of bicycles and motor cycles, but most of the time I give up and close the tab. Most things I *really* want to access work fine, so nothing of value was lost.
