1. This is a YouTube thing, not a DU thing

Sometimes YouTube asks people to sign in in order to watch videos, but it's not entirely clear why. Changing your IP address with a VPN might help, or if you are using a VPN already, try turning it off, or changing its location. Another option is to try using "Private" or "Incognito" mode in your browser (depending on what kind of browser you're using).

Unfortunately DU doesn't have any control over this -- it's entirely controlled by YouTube.
