@snacks Traffic fingerprinting. The thing where the video starts, plays for exactly one minute and then stops with 403 has been in their playbook for years.

@phnt didn't they ban people who's accounts they identified using adblockers for a while? There's no way they don't know which user is using 3rd party clients in this household if they can follow my ip changes

@snacks I don't know about banning, but they did the smug "are you having issues" popup.

@phnt @snacks They did apparently do some YouTube channel bans a while back before the smug popups. Using IPv6 I've not hit a single 403 when downloading with yt-dlp while IPv4 basically never works, with or without VPN active.

@snacks @twinspin6 No, because that is the shortened version of "who is". "Whose" is the proper spelling. It's the same pitfall as with it's/its.

@snacks @phnt "who's" means "who is"
possessive form of who is "whose"
