+ YouTube refused to provide data, asking for a login to confirm the requester is not a bot. +
+ Your IP might have been temporarily banned by YouTube, you can wait some time or switch to a different IP + (for example by turning on/off a VPN, or by switching from WiFi to mobile data). +
+

+ YouTube is tightening their measures to prevent unwanted access to their services. +

+

+ Their anti-bot system is getting more and more aggressive, + and it might happen that your IP gets blocked for a certain amount of time after making too many requests to YouTube, e.g. when refreshing your feed. + The problem can also occour if you are using NewPipe on a public Wi-Fi, or if you are using a VPN. + You can try to switch to another network in this case, or wait until the block is lifted. +
