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?

    What did you do before YT? You know, there’s a whole internet full of stuff. I know it takes a little effort, but it’s worth while.

    And the reason why there isn’t much competition from other sites is, that you don’t use them. Go use them, and the content will improve.

      “How did you do things 20 years ago” Is not the gotcha you think it is.

        Yes it is. And you don’t refute it just by saying it isn’t. Try an argument next time. :-)

            To you… and that’s fine. That doesn’t change the fact that I’m right. ;-) Now, do you have anything else to contribute, than a childish comment?

              Nah, you’re not worth the effort trying to convince you outside of your condescending bubble of arrogance. Enjoy your view from your high horse tho

                I’d say that too, if I had tried to let my gut feelings talk, and was caught up, having no real evidence for my claims. You went for me personally, and couldn’t even back your claims up. You are not worth it, and you are obviously caught up in your narrative.
