Possible youtube IP ban (lemmy.today)

Pretty sure something screwy was happening on YouTube's end. Had a captcha and didn't let me solve it (can't recall the error code) ended up turning off my router for 30mins to get a new IP (compared both the old and new one) and added a VPN to my router for good measure and it seems to be working, not sure for how long though. Seems other people also had this happen so just wanted to post my findings here just in case anyone else is having this.

Edit: wasn't on a VPN originally. I added one to my router after getting a new IP

I've had to switch to grayjay for YouTube recently I don't know what they do differently, but it seems to work better with vpns than newpipe. Works about 80% of the time where newpipe was more like 20%
