Youtube also needs to check for ads since they also have free vs. premium. It could be that their frontend/backend combination and the 13678 ways of logging in cannot do the auth song and dance properly, and need a full auth re-flow |
@dmitriid @grishka yeah but why? E.g. spotify needs to check for ads, but Youtube videos are public?
