I'm not even using a VPN (FreeTube).
Invidious time it is, I guess.
Edit: I slept the night and it works now for some reason. Maybe it was just a bad dream.

I am glad YouTube hasn't blocked me even though I only access it with ytdl-sub nowadays, as I have had the same non-static IP for over 2 years now.
I am honestly assuming my ISP noticed I am self hosting stuff that only I can access and gave me a free static IP, because that shit hasn't rotated even after a half dozen power day long power outages, and multiple day long service outages.
Not to mention the dozens of times I have had to reboot my modem for various reasons.
I have no way to check, but i honestly think it survived a modem replacement in my early days of self hosting (modem partially fried itself in an... interesting fashion).
What, it jumped up, bellowed, "Look at muh dick", then set itself on fire?
Not quite.
Port 3 fried completely (and fried the ethernet on a PC mobo), LAN devices could no longer see WLAN devices, ports 1 and 4 could see eachother, port 2 couldn't see anything, but everything could still access WAN.
Edit: and having something in port 3 meant the other ports couldn't access WAN.
