Did YouTube Just Start Blocking Proxy AI Training? What’s Going On? or Is YouTube Actively Blocking P

Subject: Is YouTube Actively Blocking Proxy AI Training Now?

Hey folks,

Been noticing some weird stuff lately. Tried scraping some public YT vids for a small project, and suddenly hitting a ton of blocks.

Anyone else running into youtube blocking proxy ai training? Feels like they’re cracking down hard outta nowhere.

Used to work fine a few weeks ago, now it’s like hitting a wall. Error messages, captchas, the whole deal.

Is this a new policy or just temp? Or am I just unlucky lol?

Would love to hear if others are seeing this too.

Cheers!
