UK - Youtube blocked

[c3p0 5]

Youtube is asking for login now over all new UK servers.. What a pain in the arse Youtube is.

Any ideas? I hate creating a google account only for that

I'm not sure how viable would be to have a UK region going forward... 
UK daddy government is constantly forcing ISPs to block access to sites.

I had a number of trackers failing in Prowlarr and the reason was the above.
So I had switched over to another region, although I'd love to use the shiny new UK servers.

Also Cloudflare has been acting weird lately

UK is becoming a dystopia day by day

If you want to use the new UK servers without the annoying YouTube login popups, try changing your browser's DNS to an encrypted non-UK provider or use an extension to spoof your user agent. For Prowlarr and torrenting though, you’re much better off switching to another region entirely, as UK anti-piracy filters are hard-coded at the infrastructure level.
