I’m asking because I just had to verify my age thanks to YouTube requiring me to watch a video that was age restricted.

minus-squareosanna@lemmy.vglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·19 days agoI haven’t tried for age restricted, but ytdlp works for those “sign in to verify you’re not a bot” prompts. Might be worth checking out if it works for those too. Or just you know, fuck yt off.
