I watch YouTube through newpipe, and recently tried pipepipe too. They work great, but lately I have been blocked on several occasions with a message that either says "content unavailable" or "your IP has been blocked by YouTube". I usually use a VPN which has helped but tried it today and still got this message :/

Finally changing the location on the VPN seemed to work. But seriously wtf is going on?

For those who care... Often unplugging your modem for 24h will refresh your IP

E you people are angry and weird and not that bright actually

I suppose that works, but that's quite drastic just to watch YT.

Hold on babe. Let's wait 24 hours for me to show you that 2 minute meme

I'm not suggesting it as a solution as you can see from my original text, it's just a fun fact.

In my case, any restart will do; maybe others are the same.
