Most servers are not able to access the Google API.

Invidious report of the same(ish) problem: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4045#issuecomment-1674373088

It’s not trying to piss you off, it’s trying to make money, as it should. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to run the infrastructure behind YouTube? Neither do I, because it’s unfathomable.

I pay for YouTube Premium along with 5 friends. It’s $5 per month per person. Beats any streaming service by miles.

I do, however pirate all my movies (except for the occasional cinema visit) and TV shows.
