    Oh, they know you’re not a robot. They’re just having trouble tracking you.

    Well, that’s because they get less data about you when you use a VPN. Google being Google are not gonna love that are they?

    I have no issues with my VPN. Which one do you have? Did you switch servers to see if it fixed the issue? Generally Google gives these prompts when there are many requests from a single IP address. When you have a proper VPN service, all connections will be spread out over many servers so there won’t be a lot of people behind a single IP address, so there won’t be that many requests to Google servers. This will solve the issue. I have Proton VPN, I never have these prompts anymore since I switched to Proton.

      Switching to an EU country usually fixes this for me. When they ask me to sign in I change my country to Germany on the VPN and I don’t have to sign in anymore. The video plays.

    Don’t use a VPN to login then. S

    Seriously though a VPN doesn’t do much for privacy in the age of Google.

    (Better yet, use Newpipe)
