Is it just me or has Youtube found a way to block Unblocker? It ain't working no more. I've gotten so used to it.

I only ever worked for me about half the time. I think once Youtube realizes something is an open proxy server in a connection, they tend to block it.

It used to be very reliable for me, but it stopped working a few weeks ago. I guess Youtube must do something to block it. Why do they even care if users watch via proxy servers, though? Should make no difference to them.

Maybe it's some sort of legal risk, when they made agreements not to let people from certain regions see certain things, they have to do their best to enforce that, or at least be able to credibly claim they do. And then if they know of an open proxy that could be used by anyone, and they don't block it, they run some risk. Or maybe they worry about DDOS attacks, and too much traffic comes from too few IPs with these proxies, and they block because of that.

That vid is so amazing, I've lost count of how many times I've watched it.

(I read somewhere that the timeline between the movies is meant to be compressed with everything from CA, Thor and IM2 happening over a few weeks. Which means that for Steve the war is just a couple of weeks back, which in turn makes it even more sad.)
