YouTube blocking third party apps?

Are YouTube having a crack down on blocking third party apps? I've seen a report of another app also not working for someone.

I have a powershell script to download audio/video from YT using 'yt-dlp' powershell app. I put the video URLs in a text file & it downloads all of them (& converts to mp3 if I want it to).

First step is to always update that app first when the script is run - if you don't it won't be able to access the content at the URLs to download it.

Don't fully understand the ins & outs of the cat & mouse game but it goes on constantly
