Captions are blocked on popular invidious instances, as google is blocking the servers that are requesting too many captions at the same time.

If you want the captions to work then use a less popular invidious public instance or host invidious yourself.

I'm going to close this issue in favor of this one: #2567 because it describes how to fix the original issue that you are having on big public instances.
