Alternative YouTube clients having issues loading videos

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/14909762

It seems YT started another attempt at blocking alternative clients. They changed something in their API and both SmartTube and Tubular (NewPipe fork) are completely broken. It seems it started happening this past week, but we personally just felt it today.
