  Oh, they know you’re not a robot. They’re just having trouble tracking you.

  Seal, YTDLnis, Newpipe, Tubular, freetube, etc… So many alternative options.

    I think alternative clients meet the same fate:

    This is Newpipe (latest version):

    Like they literally refuse to send the video packets until you do the captcha (or in worse cases, force a log in). There is no magic app that bypass it. You can work around the ads, you can’t work around a log-in/captcha wall.

      Have you tried going through an invidious instance? Freetube does that so I don’t think the VPN is really necessary. You are already accessing YT through a proxy of sort with invidious.

      As long as YT bans lists of VPN IPs there is no point in complaining about it. Either find a VPN that is not blocked or go the Invidious route but there isn’t many approach…

    There are no real alternatives to YouTube really. Their video library is orders of magnitude larger than all the competitors combined.

      They didn’t list alternative platforms, all of those are alternative frontends or apps for YouTube.

    A few days ago, the alternatives did not work, gave errors, etc. YouTube is aggressively fighting against alternatives.

  I don’t even need to use a VPN to be forced to login…

  Now that all he major AI companies have scraped all of the YouTube videos, Google wants to prevent others from getting into the market.

  They hate VPNs

  Well, that’s because they get less data about you when you use a VPN. Google being Google are not gonna love that are they?

  Don’t use a VPN to login then. S

  Seriously though a VPN doesn’t do much for privacy in the age of Google.

  (Better yet, use Newpipe)

    Welp, I guess we are just conceding defeat.

    All hail the corporate overlords.

    Privacy is dead, resistance is futile. (Right? Just give up, don’t even try)

    • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You gave up all privacy when you use the YouTube software.

  Where’s the ai extensions to bypass this shit?

  source

  • IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m not sure there is one. The whole point of Captchas is to stop non-humans.

    (Is there such extension? Curious… 🤔)

  I have no issues with my VPN. Which one do you have? Did you switch servers to see if it fixed the issue? Generally Google gives these prompts when there are many requests from a single IP address. When you have a proper VPN service, all connections will be spread out over many servers so there won’t be a lot of people behind a single IP address, so there won’t be that many requests to Google servers. This will solve the issue. I have Proton VPN, I never have these prompts anymore since I switched to Proton.

    I’m usin Mullvad and also don’t remember ever being asked to prove I’m not a robot.

    • LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Im on Mullvad as well and on YouTube itself I have no issues. If its an embedded video on another site though, I get this 90% of the time-
