Possible youtube IP ban (self.newpipe)

Pretty sure something screwy was happening on YouTube's end. Had a captcha and didn't let me solve it (can't recall the error code) ended up turning off my router for 30mins to get a new IP (compared both the old and new one) and added a VPN to my router for good measure and it seems to be working, not sure for how long though. Seems other people also had this happen so just wanted to post my findings here just in case anyone else is having this.

Edit: wasn't on a VPN originally. I added one to my router after getting a new IP

why do companies hate VPN's? I use them because I can't trust how my data is handled.

I think you answered your own question.

You're just moving the trust from your ISP provider to your VPN provider. That may be what you want, but just in case that wasn't clear to you.
