I had a backup of the previous version of the YouTube app and upgraded. It clearly skipped the DNS. I went and restored the backup and now I get the forced update thingy again.
I'm gonna keep it like this just in case. Maybe I'll try to get the URL used to check if an update is available IF it isn't HTTPS.
