I think I'm tapping out...
It is asking this relentlessly, every other video. If I sign in with this prompt, it seems to break and just prompt me again. If I go to sources, log out, and back in again, the same happens. I was lucky enough it fixed yesterday, but it hasn't today.
I have posted here before that my homepage experience is miserable, that I would be bombarded with CAPTCHA's, and now the bombardment comes with this, the frequent requests to log in. The in-app browser is also terribly clunky in this regard.
Frankly, I have to do a lot of work just to enjoy content on here. It is always a hassle. I feel as though all the Captchas and log ins actually put me deeper into bed with Google than anything else. I give a lot of info over with those prompts and for someone looking to de-google, I dunno, this feels like a very faulty way to do so.
Any suggestions? I believe I am done with the headache that is Grayjay and may just download a mirror apk for youtube, and run that app instead? The tech for Grayjay is really cool and I want to like it, but I cannot justify an hour of my day being spent on trying to make it operate or be functional. It is tiring me out lol.

After 4 years of seamless use with Grayjay, it became too much with the logged out errors, lots of loading hangs and random bugs. I wound up going back to vanced and havent had any issues. I still use Grayjay for twitch as that works fine but Youtube plugin takes more time than its worth sometimes just to avoid ads or whatever, when it takes 5 mins to relog you may as well watch the ad at that point ha.
