    I’m getting it constantly in my old reddit app with vpn off. Seems if it doesn’t recognize your browser fingerprint it will call you a bot.

      Yeah, I think it might be some kind of rate limiting. In another thread, it happened to someone else after batch-downloading videos with yt-dlp, which also prevented yt-dlp from downloading. Then it was back to normal (no sign in required) a few hours later.

        Can’t imagine it’s a rate limit in my case, it happens the very first time I try to load a video with the in-app browser
