What do people use to watch Youtube with?

        I find it goes in waves per VPN exit node and doesn’t permanently relate to any specific geography… exit node works for youtube, people figure out that exit node works for youtube, youtube notices the traffic and flags that IP so youtube doesn’t work for X months so people stop using it and eventually it works again and the cycle starts anew.
