yt-dlp now suffers from the same issue that Invidious does: uncircumventable rate-limiting based on IP address.

You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore.

Same for yt-dlp, currently: It works from your residential IP address, but not a datacenter IP address like a VPN.

If you get Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot or This helps protect our community. in yt-dlp, do not actually try to sign in, because that will get your account banned (see yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10128).

So once a solution is found for Invidious, yt-dlp will be able use it too, and vice versa.
