I use YT-DLP often on YouTube.

Yesterday evening I couldn't access YouTube via incognito mode on my desktop because I got a message stating I needed to log in to prove I'm not a bot.

I got the same message when I tried to access YouTube normally through Firefox on my smartphone - I have to log in to prove I'm not a bot.

Is this message coming up because YouTube has detected my IP is using YT-DLP?
