But YouTube insists that I am. In my opinion, they should have to prove their accusation, but I guess the world doesn’t work that way anymore.
The only workaround I have found is to sign out of YouTube. I can usually watch several vids before they block me. If I ignore the vid they block, the next several usually play before they block again.
The downside is that signing out of YouTube also signs me out of my email, I don’t know why. So if I want to get into email after YouTube videos, I have to log in.
