Is YouTube Blocking Proxy AI Training? What’s Going On? or Why Is YouTube Blocking Proxy AI Training?

Thanks for all the tips, folks! Gonna try Bright Data and slow down my requests.

Still weird how aggressive youtube blocking proxy ai training has gotten—like, it was fine a month ago.

Anyone know if YT announced this change somewhere? Or are they just silently nuking scrapers?

Also, shoutout to the Apify suggestion—might check that out if the other stuff fails.
