    I wonder if these services are on small cloud providers. If so then they can just block their entire CIDR.

    I wonder if they were to move to GPC if they would have better luck.

      Im seeing it from a residential IP. I think its more they have an allowlist rather than a blocklist nowadays. But I can only speculate. Piped stopped working a month or so ago on my personal instance and updates dont fix it. I can imagine for video uploaders, the issue is worse.
