  I used NewPipe only yesterday with no problem.

  If you installed it through Fdroid and you aren't using Newpipe'sown repository, you're probably using an outdated version

    It was. I got the github version and it’s working now.

  There was a recent update to new pipe, make sure you’re running the latest code

    I just tried it now and it works fine. Tried a video posted 2 weeks ago and a video posted 5 hours ago. Both played just fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

      They may be doing this in some countries and not others or just A/B testing users based on some random allocation of accounts.

      I would not be surprised if Google wants to understand how effective something like this is in terms of getting people to disable adblock vs them just being like "welp fuck YouTube I guess"

        Yeah, I subsequently learned it may be rolling out in different countries. I meant to update my comment as such but forgot :/ FYI: In case anyone's interested, I'm in New Zealand.
