Last two weeks every time I use Piped I am getting error “Sign in to confirm you are not a bot”. It happens on every instance and videos work very rarely. It seems like Google enforces you to log in if you try watch lot of videos from one IP. I hope this will not be end of Piped and there will be solution for this problem.
Upd. I got similar problem on Invidious recently
Seems to be a big crackdown lately. Freetube and Grayjay are the only apps that seem to consistently work.
Grayjay is proprietary, so I don’t think it is very good for privacy and freedom
FreeTube also doesn’t work well
The advantage of FreeTube is that if it doesn’t work, it can use an Invidious instance as a fallback.
Invidious doesn’t work now lol
