I don’t know if it’s the right place to ask.
I don’t want a Google account. I don’t use yt that much but I still need it.
I even tried yt revanced. None of them works

Hasn’t worked for me for several months. Not with a VPN anyway.
I’ve noticed that Google is getting more and more aggressive with VPNs. It won’t let me load anything on VPN without logging in. This applies to third-party tools like yt-dlp too.
This probably depends on your VPN provider. Perhaps I can make a throwaway google account just to get it to stfu? I don’t know how hard it is to make a semi-anonymous Google account nowadays.
I use ProtonVPN* (paid) and using North American servers works most of the time. I also use secure core through Switzerland first befote it goes to the NA servers.
I use Fennec + u Block Origin to watch youtube, works flawlessly 99% of the time.
*Although Proton has a recent controversy with one of its board members, Andy Yen, regarding his opinions on US politics.
Requires a phone nunber, at least most of the time
Depends on how you sign up. If you sign up with Gmail or Google TV they do not, last I checked.
Interesting, will try that next time. Maybe from a coffee shop without a VPN to have a better chance
