You can put up with that... Or you could just switch to a Piped instance and be done with it all.
How is that "legal" though? Will it not be harassed by Google at some point to turn it down?
It's not illegal, but maybe against YT terms of service. I've seen reports that google is starting to IP ban piped instances.
I'm taking it with a grain of salt anyway, as I haven't read any first hand accounts. And it would be interesting to see if google really is banning IPs, even ones in aws/azure/linode/gcp(lol)/etc IP blocks.
