There are a variety of bogus issues that do this.
See if yt-dlp spoofs a UserAgent. On the one hand, it has to
do web centric things, on the other, it has to "pretend to be Firefox"
or presumably pretending to be Chrome would be a better "passport".
It can't pretend to be SeaMonkey, as that causes lots of adverse reactions
on websites packing Google Payware.
The web has been wired by the Bomb Squad, if you hadn't noticed.
(CloudFlare Smurf Behavior.) Such a returned result hardly makes
me blink (or twitch) any more. You just have to keep shoveling and trying
stuff.
Take this result. I go to watch a 60 Minutes rebroadcast on Youtube.
Google returns "this is not for your country" and because I live
in a swamp with alligators, normally I would just "stop and go away".
Yet, if I track down the video to the CBS website, I am shown
the video with no trouble at all. Being in Canada has no affect
on my swamp or my pitiful alligators. It was a video about Boston Dynamics
and the latest Atlas robot.
You'll notice I didn't stop. I didn't blink. The reaction triggered
my "well, we'll just have to follow the breadcrumbs back to the source then".
And that yielded a result.
As for your grok.com link, I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.
Reason ? Hardly any "summary" pages people produce from an AI session,
work for others. The batting average on https://---.ai is poor.
There's always some blockage or other. If there
really is something interesting in there, just copy out the
salient text and post it here.
