I watch YouTube through newpipe, and recently tried pipepipe too. They work great, but lately I have been blocked on several occasions with a message that either says “content unavailable” or “your IP has been blocked by YouTube”. I usually use a VPN which has helped but tried it today and still got this message :/

Finally changing the location on the VPN seemed to work. But seriously wtf is going on?

      It’s been broken for a few weeks. They’re aware but I think it’s an upstream fix they’re waiting on. In the meantime I use yt-dlp.
