As much as it isn't preferred, I can usually bypass the sign in shenanigans by going directly to the website to watch something without signing in. I usually only get the login prompt when going through my browser or a search engine.
I got it on an embedded video for a news site. VPN on of course.
I get it on reddit :/
That's what I mean though, trying to watch any YT video embedded anywhere without being signed in will yield that error, but I usually don't have that problem on YT's direct website, even without login. Still ridiculous, but so is Google
Redlib is a handy accountless frontend for reddit that still works
Thanks will be very handy when I get reddit llink in search result and can not open it
