I like how they make up a phony benefit to try to make it seem like you’ll get something out of it.

Try the Freetube or Grayjay client, they work for me with VPN.

If you are using a Free VPN, the would be A LOT of users using that server, so it looks like a denial of service attack from the server’s POV.

Even when I used a paid VPN, I still have to try many servers before there is one that works.

When I used ProtonVPN, it was like 50/50 if it worked or not.

When I switched to Mullvad and now to IVPN, who have much less servers to choose from, I have to try like 7 servers before I found a working one, and so far it’s been working fine for like the past week.

Its not a new thing. I’ve noticed it since last year (when I started using VPNs).
