Like they literally refuse to send the video packets until you do the captcha (or in worse cases, force a log in). There is no magic app that bypass it. You can work around the ads, you can’t work around a log-in/captcha wall.
Have you tried going through an invidious instance? Freetube does that so I don’t think the VPN is really necessary. You are already accessing YT through a proxy of sort with invidious.
As long as YT bans lists of VPN IPs there is no point in complaining about it. Either find a VPN that is not blocked or go the Invidious route but there isn’t many approach…
Seal, YTDLnis, Newpipe, Tubular, freetube, etc… So many alternative options.
I think alternative clients meet the same fate:
This is Newpipe (latest version):

Wait, newpipe works for me (I’m from Greece if that matters). Running version 0.27.6
Ditto here in AU

Grayjay?
There are no real alternatives to YouTube really. Their video library is orders of magnitude larger than all the competitors combined.
They didn’t list alternative platforms, all of those are alternative frontends or apps for YouTube.
My point still stands.
