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.

        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
