YouTube refused to provide data, asking for a login to confirm the requester is not a bot.

11+
Your IP might have been temporarily banned by YouTube, you can wait some time or switch to a different IP
12+
(for example by turning on/off a VPN, or by switching from WiFi to mobile data).

YouTube is tightening their measures to prevent unwanted access to their services.
16+
</p>
17+
<p>
18+
Their anti-bot system is getting more and more aggressive,
19+
and it might happen that your IP gets blocked for a certain amount of time after making too many requests to YouTube, e.g. when refreshing your feed.
20+
The problem can also occour if you are using NewPipe on a public Wi-Fi, or if you are using a VPN.
21+
In this case, you can try to switch to another network, or wait until the block is lifted.
