Could one use AWS AppStream [0] or Mighty [1] or similar tech to proxy-view YouTube?

I bet you would only get a few pages loaded before being captcha'd since the IP is still one of a cloud provider.

It depends. I used to self-host a VPN on DigitalOcean's VPS and didn’t experience any issues when routing all my traffic through it. But I suspected being logged in to my Google account as well as presenting cookies created for a residential IP address helped with that.
