Only recently discovered yt-dlp, despite its popularity. However I was wondering if I were to use this, should it be used behind a VPN when downloading videos off public websites?

Youtube nowadays has started requiring sign in to view the content. However the only affected IPs are of Invidious instances.
Sounds like the beginning of the end… I should start archiving the channels I like
That’s not true, I just got a “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” message on the official fucking YouTube website using Firefox behind Mullvad VPN. It’s also very common to see this on Piped instances. The invidious team seems to have developed a fix though: https://github.com/iv-org/youtube-trusted-session-generator
