Whenever someone complains about why their shared video link on YouTube ‘won’t work’.
It works, but people largely forgot that Google stupidly ruined that ability for everyone by making it mandatory that you be logged in to watch videos, so you’re not flagged as a bot. But, since you’re sharing a link to the video or embedding it, you can’t watch it anyways because the stupid prompt shows up, forcing you to go to the site itself.
Ads are the real problem. At least for people who pay for premium. You can’t be logged in to prevent them. AFAIK.
Can try using a Pinole to block ads at a dns level 🤷
I already use dns level blocking. I don’t think that works for this specific case.
I just wish there was a way to log in and set my cookies in the electron app. It’s only frustrating for me because I pay.
You could just open it in the browsert
