I had to do the ol log in and cookie refresh, to find out that all viewing has been blocked due to age verification where Google is asking me to provide a home address and government id (or selfie upload, or credit card...)\n\nUnless y'all got any better ways of seeing YT content I guess they have finally won. \n\nFor the record. I attempted to create another account with a phone number I own and I again stopped me at watching literally any video without age verification. Tools like Freetube and NewPipe have very limited usability lately for viewing content directly. I might get lucky for 2-3 loads per day if I juggle some VPN settings around. \n\nI'm open to ideas, books are cool and all, but I already read plenty and touch enough grass. YT is the only form of online content I have access to worth watching. \n"}
