I would guess you're using a bunch of privacy protecting features that's preventing them from verifying your browser/device. Unfortunately, being anonymous is the same as looking like a bot.

Use NewPipe. It only ever gets blocked if you're on VPN or if YouTube did an api update and the app needs to update to match.
