But if they are blocking residential IPs, how can I watch my Video on normal youtube? Or are the just gonna fuck everyone because a few people are using things such as newpipe?

It's not because of normal users, it's because of AI companies. Whatever open tools are developed to circumvent tracking are immediately also being used to suck up all data for training material.

These companies use residential proxies to circumvent normal scraping detection. False positives are collateral damage to them.

They block 3rd party tools like yt-dlp, NewPipe etc from residential IP addresses. Probably they deployed solutions to differentiate normal YouTube session on their website and automated tools.
