A way around the Youtube sign-in requirement ?

Mentioned that the previous Youtube sign-in workaround seemed to be broken:

I have been using mostly US servers for the VPN mainly for Bing.  If Bing senses you are outside the US it will shift your points to whatever is given in that country.  But since I've given up on Bing I tried a Netherlands server today and the Youtube videos started to play without having to sign-in.

the black background at the top indicates a private window - in other words: no persistent cookies

I do have to express thumbs up or down on cookies though but that's not a big deal.  Firefox erases the cookies anyway.

Also there are the commercials in Dutch which are generally short but can't be skipped.

  

But overall, it's nice to be able to see Youtube videos without having to give up the VPN or having to pollute my regular Youtube feed.
