    Newpipe will probably be blocked as well if youtube is doing this. Honestly not sure why youtube hasn’t blocked yt-dlp and others already.

      It’s not easily block able as it scrapes the YouTube website. They’d have to stop having a website for that to happen.

        this particular cat and mouse has been going on for a long time.

        Although I get the impression it’s not particularly aggressive.

        There was a while there about a year ago where newpipe seemed to break every week and you had to install the next patch version from github. It’s not like newpipe had to develop some new workaround or something, just changed class names or something.
