I was trying to airplay a video to my tv, just like I did for hours last night, and YouTube kept demanding that I login to prove I’m not a bot. So I figured I would make a fake login on Proton. That worked fine, but then it wants to text me for verification and obviously I do not want to give them my number, but it’s rejecting every number I try from the temp number sites.

I am in Safari for iPad in a private window, using vinegar.

I like command line stuff, so I use newsboat for the reader, and then yt-boat to download. yt-boat uses yt-dlp as it's backend, but I've never had a problem with yt-dlp not downloading or asking for credentials though.
