   Damn. YouTube now requires an account to view videos. It says, "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot". Suppose I logged in to Gmail with no issues. This is what AI is doing. Every platform is getting closed source.

     @nixCraft Serious melt down from my 38 year old severely autistic adult son in 3, 2, 1......

     Seriously, if you are logged in, you can see adult content. I really don't want him to have a login!

     Interesting, maybe this is an only-US thing?

     I can access YouTube without login from the mobile browser (fennec f-droid), even with ublock.

     @nixCraft I've always been curious how piped and invidious work. How are they able to circumvent this restriction?

     @nixCraft I've basically abandoned YouTube as it's full of garbage videos and becoming more and more locked down every single day. To hell with it.
