    They’re locking down on IPs which consume traffic like a bot/ alternate distribution platforms like Invidious instances. AFAIK the softwares itself isn’t blocked. Please try and correct everyone you see on this forum who says otherwise

      @MigratingtoLemmy you are wrong though. They are adding tokens and signatures, without them the videos aren’t playing. But I just updated my invidious and it’s playing fine again => it’s not an IP block (yet), it is a change in the youtube media api, so the players need to be changed too = effectively a player block.
