Here is what I found about youtube making sure your not a bot.......

IP blocking
A neighboring IP address may have been bombarding YouTube, causing them to block the IP range you're in.

Fake engagement
YouTube doesn't count artificial page traffic, and it can lead to strikes on your account.

Ranges of IP's being blocked because of bombardment/spamming.

and Cloudflare will harrass or CAPTCHA addresses it thinks are naughty.

A neighbor of yours may be hacked and sending spam or phishing messages, or since you use a VPN, objecting to the IP address it uses.

Good luck.
