is surfshark’s ‘nexus’ thing any good? do other vpn providers have a similar thing that gives you new ip for every link/webpage you click?

I know it’s a bit offtopic but can someone implement such a feature in custom YouTube clients? The “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot.” error is tied to the IP so changing it all the time should make the clents work.
I doubt it would help. My employer uses Akamai as a CDN & security provider for our websites. Their bot analysis tools regularly flag distributed bot activity that can come from a handful or a few thousand IPs. They do a range of browser fingerprinting, TLS fingerprinting, etc. to uniquely identify traffic across ranges of IP’s. I’m sure Google/Youtube has the ability to do this as well.
Any given client would need to regularly randomize the order of headers in requests, randomly include/exclude optional headers, and also randomize TLS negotiation to try to circumvent all the fingerprinting these big corporations perform.
The problem with that approach is very high risk of false positives. Google may use it but now they use IP blocks.
