I...think you should reinstall the app? Unless it's a joke, that sounds weird.
Afraid not. Exact error message only becomes known by going NewPipe > Play a video > Error (Content Unavailable). At this point NewPipe offers: Report or Open In Browser. When ya opt for the second option, your browser opens that video which then gives Error: "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot. This helps protect our community. " And it's been this way for me for at least 2 months, no change.
Edit: typo
Never seen that before. Did you un- and reinstall the app at some point?
It's YouTube blocking my in-use known VPN IP addresses. https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/how-to-watch-youtube-while-always-on-vpn-is-present
I won't turn off my VPN to watch YT videos, so I'm the outlier. I value my privacy more than my sense of entertainment.
