Hey, DU Administrators

[PJMcK]

Far too many DU posts that link to YouTube videos are problematic. The videos require one to log into YouTube before they'll play.

What's up with that?

Is this a DU problem or is it YouTube?

I've stopped following DU posts with video links because it's simpler for me to watch political videos on YouTube.

And while I have your attention, I keep getting these interruptions on DU where my browser (Safari) is being "verified." What's that about?

Thank you for your response.


ETA: I use several Mac Air laptops and a couple of iPads all running the latest OS and Safari. I do not have any VPNs or ad-blockers or anything like that. The YouTube issue has only developed recently. It's not really a problem, just a minot annoyance.

Thanks again.
