I don’t know if it’s the right place to ask.
I don’t want a Google account. I don’t use yt that much but I still need it.
I even tried yt revanced. None of them works

They are currently A/B testing blocking access to videos without an account. That’s why some people are getting errors. It’s likely that it will be rolled out to everyone in the future.
Oh, thx for the clarification. That certainly would not help.
It looks to me like Google has that idea they own their viewership and can treat them like trash if they fancy doing so. The not too distant future will tell us if they were right or not.
What I can say is that they don’t own me. I was a Premium subscriber fir years (I can afford it and I want to support creators) but I cancelled the day they became serious against ad-blockers. For me, it was not about them forcing people to pay a sub. It never was. It was about destroying the free Web and making it a privately-owned something a few corporations would then be able to do what the fuck they wanted with. I certainly did not want to give them a cent more of my money to achieve that.
Well, login gating worked for Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (it’s not dead yet despite some people’s claims). We here are tiny minority of social media users.
Yep, you’re right. I tend to forget that… way too often. [Sad face]
that’s fun because some of my teachers like to upload their course material to youtube…
They’ll tell you to make an account, what’s the big deal, everyone uses Google?
And when you tell them how insane it is to lock access to course material behind a Google account, they’ll stare at you blankly.
