I know this subject has been raised before (back in January) but for that people it clear itself up...

But I been getting a similar issue where if I try to click on a YouTube video it asks me to signin to confirm I'm not a bot.

Clicking on learn more just returns the "video" to a static thumbnail with no option to play.

This is in Safari and I am signed in to YouTube. I do think I have this issue elsewhere, at least, I only tend to notice it at GTPlanet.

Google made a whole buuuuunch of changes to cookies overnight. Clear your Google (and YouTube, and anything else Google) cookies, then head back to your YouTube account and log back in. If that doesn't fix it, add an exception into your browser's security/cookie settings for google and youtube URLs.
 
It appears to have resolved itself now.

Weird as this has been happening on and off for a couple weeks now.

EDIT: It appears that some videos work and others do not... I'll try clearing cookies and rebooting.
