YouTube Now Forcing Visitors To Sign In To View Videos

General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.

Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

Be careful with yt-dlp if you are in the USA, as they are cracking down hard on it and you may be in serious trouble with section 1201 of the DMCA attaching jail time to it.
Have you seen any articles about this recently? Been meaning to ask about this.

I did a search and found only that google is cracking down on it not the FBI or anyone else.
