    LibreTube stoped working for me quite while ago “log in to confirm you are not a bot” on pretty much every instance.

        Does anyone know why? They are using IPv6 addresses so theoretically there should be infinite IPs.

        Honestly YouTube should try to come up with some sort of deal to allow Piped and other third party frontends. Maybe have some sort of paid API access or some agreement to allow YouTube to use piped servers as a cache. The overhead for YouTube is large and maybe they could lower it with community help.

          “infinite ips” dont matter if they block your subnet lol
          ipv6 blocking is usually done on a per subnet basis

          That would make sense(most invidious instances like to rotate proxys and use different backends aswell), but youtube from what I seen doesn’t do anything good updates.
