Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.
Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.
I’m not logged into youtube with any device because google demands to know my phone number in order to “verify” its me, logging into my youtube account. So as a solution I just don’t log in anymore. I still watch stuff though.
YouTube has made all these apps completely useless by blocking users that aren’t logged in.

Works fine for me. Literally never had a issue.

Well they must have created a blocking. Mechanism just for me then.
