Content requires an account to view ? Error ?

[Viewership]

Hey Folks.

Have been absolutely loving my time with this app. It's the best version of YT by far!

It's just that recently I've been getting ' This content requires an account to view. Log in through settings to continue .'

What's happening. What changed ? I don't use Google. Sorry. Anyway around this ?

Thanks again!

Google has been trying to block anonymous access to YouTube. Starting about two or three days ago, YouTube has become more aggressive in flagging all IPs they consider "suspicious" and randomly requiring login when these IPs attempt to play videos. There seem to be different levels of flagging, which determine the probability of being asked to log in as 10%, 30%, 60%, or 100% (these are approximate numbers).

Currently, as long as you haven't reached the highest blocking level, usually retrying a few times can solve the problem. But in the long term, I would recommend creating a dedicated anonymous account for YouTube and only using it to log into PipePipe. We bypass YouTube's trackers, so Google can hardly collect any data about you.

...And 4.1.3 find a way to bypass it. You can just download the latest version and the problem should be solved.
