Just started on all videos here too.
:(

[Chopium]

I've been getting this for every video.

I'm also getting frequent "you're offline" errors from the regular youtube clients that share my IP (everyone is complaining)
For more context, I just run a private invidious instance for myself.
Curious if anyone else is seeing those.

Could they be ip banning?

[m4teh]

Yeah I'm getting the same thing intermittently on their official web UI. I just assumed they were up to more anti-adblock shenanegans and didn't bother looking into it more since videos are still (barely) loading there.

[Sommerwiesel]

Seems to be an IP ban, if I rotate the proxies on my instance, it immediately works again.
