YouTube has implemented hair trigger "anti-bot" measures that I suspect strictly limit the number of session cookies issued over a sliding window.

If you browse in Incognito Mode it does not take much casual browsing to exceed this limit.

It accuses you of being a bot and demands you log in to view any content.

A great excuse for a scheme to force everyone to log in and be tracked.
