Pretty much entirely unusable in germany due to, roughly, half the videos being blocked. :(

  I think YouTube is one of my main reasons for using a VPN here in Germany. I try not to use the german internet without my VPN switched on for a couple of reasons but that's definitely the most annoying one.

    What service do you use? I've considered it from time to time, but i don't know which ones are reliable/useful/sanely priced.

      I just use a small Kimsufi dedicated server with Gentoo running OpenVPN. I also use a small edis.at VPS in case I need an austrian IP.

    What are the other reasons?

      - Privacy on shared Wifis (at University) - Shady law firms sending mass letters - Geo blocked content

  Yeah sorry, it uses the API of YouTube with USA marked as origin. I could fix it by using the JavaScript client API of YouTube for non-americans visitors; it has a rate limit so it may not work so well though.

    I don't think there'll be a lot of official videos left here in Germany even if you switch to the non-american API. Most official music videos are blocked.
