That sucks - I keep hearing that kind of thing from more and more people, the last one in Canada. Fwiw, it is a Saturday Night Live sketch, poking fun at ourselves as to how we inconsistently use measurement schemes, like some less popular sports use meters, but the most popular ones use the English ones like feet. I wonder why it is blocked, wherever you are.
If anyone knows, I would be interested in hearing: like should I not share YouTube videos anymore these days? Or only share/avoid certain corporate types? (Whereas certain others such as CPG Grey’s videos would truly be a tragic loss if they could not be shared) I presume Piped videos would likewise be blocked too? Are they blocked only in certain countries, or like most ones outside of the USA? Is the URL still useful, like to put into Vanced or some such, or would something else help better like the title, or again should I just not share them? I don’t know any of these answers but in any case, thank you for sharing with me your experience here.

It depends which proxy piped.video happens to use at the moment. It’s a dice throw as far as I can see… I successfully watched the video this morning but neither yesterday nor right now the video is loading for me.

It’s Saturday Night Live. It’s an American Humour* channel by the corpos.
* the cringy type of humour - I do not understand why people like it. Oh well.

Oh wow, I didn’t realize it differed on the client side, I presumed it was only server.
