As much as it isn't preferred, I can usually bypass the sign in shenanigans by going directly to the website to watch something without signing in. I usually only get the login prompt when going through my browser or a search engine.

I get it on reddit :/

That's what I mean though, trying to watch any YT video embedded anywhere without being signed in will yield that error, but I usually don't have that problem on YT's direct website, even without login. Still ridiculous, but so is Google

I got it on an embedded video for a news site. VPN on of course.
