Last two weeks every time I use Piped I am getting error “Sign in to confirm you are not a bot”. It happens on every instance and videos work very rarely. It seems like Google enforces you to log in if you try watch lot of videos from one IP. I hope this will not be end of Piped and there will be solution for this problem.
Upd. I got similar problem on Invidious recently
The advantage of FreeTube is that if it doesn’t work, it can use an Invidious instance as a fallback.
Invidious doesn’t work now lol
