Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

This isnt new. Its been happening for years. There is a post about this on lemmy every few weeks. It just doesnt happen consistently, so people always think that they “discovered” this for the first time.
But this is even dumber than before, you can’t even login to bypass. What about people living in a country where youtube is blocked. I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?
@DeathByBigSad @unexposedhazard VPN to a location where it's not blocked and YT hasn't (yet) block-listed the VPN endpoint IP.
BBC have also been good at blocking for years.
