        You would have to add the relevant backport repo to your apt sources. Your favorite search engine should help you figure out exactly how to do that on your system.

        When I ran into this though, I uninstalled the apt version and downloaded the latest version directly from GitHub and installed it manually.

        I don’t know if you’ve fixed this but getting a burner account and extracting the cookies works. Just pass the cookie file to ytdlp and you’re good to go

          well the ‘funny’ part of the meme is (supposed to be) the content of the link, which is the background… (including the frame it’s paused on).
          also there was no issue with any other video
          ….
          but really i just wanted to sample the audio for a thing, so im gonna look for a quality version

      My package manager has an old version that doesn’t work. I had to download from a browser to get a working version.

        YouTube change things on the back end so frequently that I bet there’s always at least one bleeding-edge distro that has an outdated yt-dlp in its repository.

        But if you’re on a Debian / Ubuntu / Mint, yeah, you’re gonna have a bad time without the stand-alone version.

    Either wait a while or access it from a different IP address. If you have both IPv4 and IPv6, try forcing it to use one or the other with the -4 and -6 options.

      Funnily, my home IP gets blocked often, even with lower than human-average traffic. My fathers home IP, where my piped proxy runs, so where all my PC/Laptop YT usage aggregates, plus his usage and others using my proxy, literally never gets blocked. Maybe because he watches it logged in, and so YT trusts the IPs more?
