Is blacklisting for Air IP addresses getting worse?

Hi all,

(I realise there is a Blocked Websites Warning forum, this is more of a general question).

I use a European AirVPN config that usually exits in the Netherlands. In the last month or so, I've had problems with fairly established web properties: Soundcloud, Bandcamp, CircleCI, Supabase. YouTube now routinely needs me to sign in to watch a video (I do not have an account, so I end up foregoing content I want to watch). These sites seem to be sharing a blocklist; they nearly always reject from AirVPN in the Netherlands, but if I switch to a UK VPN, it is nearly always fine (unfortunately another service fails for me if I do that, due to an overly sensitive sign-in system).

What blocklist could they be sharing? Can AirVPN do something about it?

Correlation != causation, as always.

Of course not. Can AirVPN do something about the users abusing the services? People don't behave, especially behind a VPN, so everyone suffers for it. Simple as that.
