That's a rhetorical question, in case there's any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.
Get the YouTube Revanced app to play this*

Yup! I was already using NewPipe for finding YouTube videos myself, but this is what spurred me on to find out how to also open every YouTube link i click in NewPipe 😁

Time to switch to Invidious.
Nah, I did one better and set NewPipe to open all YouTube links
This is all I get for the last week or so, no matter which video I try to open. I was about to delete the app for that. How is yours still working?
So this caused me to go digging as I've run into the same issue. Make sure it's up to date first obviously, and if it still refuses to function, their page has fixes which ended working for me:

*Edit: also give it the option to switch to invidious API if the default fails; for a slightly more seamless experience
Have you updated recently? A few weeks ago there were some changes to YouTube that basically shut down newpipe and other similar clients, but an update should have fixed that.
Far as I can tell, that's the one I get when opening in Firefox and then switching to desktop mode.
Everything except geo-blocked vids works perfectly now that I have NewPipe set as the default app for all YouTube links, though, are you sure yours is updated?
hell yea
Well that might just completely kill YouTube on mobile for me. The only way to watch on my phone without their ads.
I am slowly switching back to podcasts, it is only question of time when yt quality goes bellow usability, they are dancing around that thin line like with search.
Fuxk u peasant... That's what
I tried last night to view a video I saw someone on SpaceHey had in their main page and couldn't do it on my phone or desktop browser. Phone wasn't in any way doing anything outside of the standard ublock origin on Mull, which has never had issues if I ever needed an "emergency" yt lookup. Desktop browser Firefox based with libredirect wasn't working since I've been having issues connecting and using Invidious and Piped instances for a while.
Ended up having to switch to Freetube on my desktop to view the video and it was worth it. The errors I kept getting where to sign in to confirm I'm not a bot.
This was the video (assuming the instance is still up in the future)
