I’m guessing that, like me, you always have an anonymizing VPN running? Yeah, I don’t do CAPTCHA puzzles to prove I’m human. I move on when I see one. Seems like my YouTube browsing days may be drawing to a close.
Ad free TV shows and movies are so easy to obtain, and in 4K no less, via BitTorrent. I wonder if in-demand YT content will gradually become torrent accessible too as YT puts up more walls.
