        I’ve had that happen before, and I don’t know exactly why, but it’s not consistent. It may happen if you are connecting via a VPN server that they’ve flagged. Switching servers and clearing cookies and whatnot ought to clear it up.

          I’m not interested in clearing it up. If YT doesn’t want me to watch videos on their platform, that’s fine, I won’t. I just wish creators would upload their content somewhere else that isn’t behind a corporate account wall.

          It’s likely a region or IP range thing. I find that when I’m on a VPN, YouTube will regularly complain like this. I just keep switching countries until one works.
