Its just an annoying captcha.
I would guess you're using a bunch of privacy protecting features that's preventing them from verifying your browser/device. Unfortunately, being anonymous is the same as looking like a bot.
Use NewPipe. It only ever gets blocked if you're on VPN or if YouTube did an api update and the app needs to update to match.
If you want to view the content, its change the VPN server or use a residential IP. Residential proxies exist but are expensive and I'm not aware of any residential VPN services.
They can tell the IP of your server is nonresidential and don't trust it either. But I'd expect it to sometimes work.
I only ever get this when I'm on a VPN. Sometimes reddit will do that to me too. It means someone's been abusing/scraping YouTube through your VPN server and they've temporarily blacklisted its IP address. Switch your VPN servers or turn off your VPN.
I don't want to fault people for avoiding Arch's instability in general but this is a very minor issue.
VLC is not a system critical package. I absolutely understand the mods choice to not put it in the RSS. At most they could put a notice in the pacman logs when it updates.
Ya'll gotta read the whole thing because its genuinely desperate.
Interesting read. It sounds like that issue came upstream from Debian not Ubuntu though.
deprecating ffmpeg for half a year

Not them but for me its LUKS on LVM for desktops. For laptops, archinstall with LVM on LUKS is sufficient.
