    Change the VPN server/location.

    That’s why VPNs give you hundreds of options. You should be changing your VPN location anyway based on the pseudo-profile you want. VPNs aren’t magic, they’re just tools.

    Other options include:

    Searching for the video with DDG or Startpage and playing the video via their search

    Using an Invidious frontend

    “This will allow YouTube to locate the best content.”

    It’s the blatant bald-faced lying that really gets me. They’re openly broadcasting how little respect they have for you, that they think you’ll swallow that as a valid reason not to function.

    It’s as if some manager at Google deep down knows he’s a piece of shit who belongs in a gulag, and is subconsciously trying to bring it about.
