Even YT on browser for both my tablet and laptop have gotten mad at me and thrown a hissy for forcing me to login. Less of a problem on my Laptop, because I use Freetube to watch on there, and on my Phone I use Revanced. But man, I just hate watching on my Kindle now, because that shit is old and can barely run Firefox (got it via aurora store, not even in the Amazon appstore 😭) and YT on browser is ass. I tried NewPipe and it crashed all the time, so I got the for PipePipe cause I’m a weeabo, and it worked well but now I get the blocked IP every other day. My tablet crashed when I tried to download Revanced YT on there, so I gave up.
That works for me, for a while. I also auto-restart the invidious container stack hourly, per their recommendation. But sooner or later it fails, and usually the fix is to recreate a token. It only takes a minute, but it’s a hassle to do often.
Google started blocking them in some way. Even my self-hosted, entirely local-access only instance stopped working.

It got so bad that couldn’t access YouTube on their official app in my company phone without logging in.
Did you run the token generator thing? Worked for me a couple days ago (but not over a VPN).

I haven’t, no.
Shit for privacy, but that should fix it
