I’ve recently “moved” countries! And by that I of course mean the country I exit from online. I’m trying to keep a perma-VPN situation going.

YouTube loaded for me on my computer, where I’m logged in, even through uBlock Origin. But no luck on their locked down phone app, where I’m also logged in. Very weird. Shuffled servers a bit and still nothing. And I’m not talking about sports content which is always super locked down.

Anyone else facing this problem? Has this been the norm for a while in some exit countries? Is this just one of those wait for it to tide over situations that works itself out in the end?

Weirdly it loads shorts just fine.

I wonder at what point it would end up being better to just rent a VPS and wireguard into that.

In case your answer is “Just use Peertube!” my reply is Inshallah I will

    and I don’t mean unlisted or private. I mean they just don’t exist through channels

    Have you checked your account to ensure their shitty AI didn’t label you as a minor?

      Yeah, at least two of my accounts aren’t flagged, it’s ok. I think there are only two ways that dozens of videos could’ve been removed from multiple channels in the same couple of months: Manual decision, or a large scale removal for content violation, which was flagged by YT AI.
