FYI, I thought I would upload this slightly more informative message
from mps-youtube (also a Guix package):

'''
Youtube Error 403: Access Not Configured. YouTube Data API has not been
used in project 422897895433 before or it is disabled. Enable it by
visiting 
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/overview?project=422897895433
then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for
the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

I'm afraid this doesn't look like something we can fix.  Google is 
cracking down hard on projects that it can't milk for profit, like 
youtube-viewer[0].

I got similar threatening messages from Google recently (I once 
managed the API key for NixOS long ago) and guess they hit the 
deadline.  Pity.

I'll take a poke at packaging straw-viewer[1].

Thanks,

T G-R

PS: You opened two identical bugs (40106 & 40107).  I've merged 
them.  Let's keep this bug open until we decide what to do with 
youtube-viewer.
