Have you considered trying out NewPipe or its fork Tubular (with SponsorBlocck built in)?

    Unfortunately NewPipe will not help with that. I get this message in a browser and in NewPipe.

    Have you tried if yt-dlp works? Cuz if that also doesnt, then maybe they actually temporarily blocked your IP?

    I have never gotten this message on yt so cant test it.

    Are you on a commercial VPN connection?

    No, it's when I connect with my ISP at home. If I use Mullvad VPN or if I actually login into YouTube web app, everything works fine.
