"Sign In to Confirm You Are Not A Bot" (on Youtube videos)

I can see the videos in threads, the actual opening still shot (or whatever it’s called). but after tapping Play this message comes up. Tapping on the “Learn More” button just leads to a blank screen. I am signed into both DU and YouTube so don’t know how to fix this, or why it started appearing?

I’m using my iPhone. Don’t know if that might be the cause?

Strangely, it went away after I posted, but now it’s back again. Tried multiple posted vids.
Weird.

Mostly I've just given up on clicking on anything that is marked as a video/ red box.

Sometimes it takes more than once but eventually it plays. Annoying to say the least.

When I tell people I’m not voting for trump, they say Oh, you’re not a Robot. Works every time.
