does anyone know a good workaround for watching age-restricted videos from youtube without being forced to having a google account? i’ve tried

  • a few browser extensions (very old ones) who promised to solve it. didn’t work.
  • downloading them through classic youtube downloading services. didn’t work.
  • switching to nsfwyoutube.com/url . didn’t work does anyone know of a working solution right now? thanks a lot in advance!!

    Grayjay does allow you to use an account only for age gate/content gate authentication, so I wonder if there are any burner or public google accounts that could be repurposed for that (junk because multiple people use them)

      Hmmm… similar to how Aurora store lets you use one of their google accounts to download from play store. Sounds like a good idea for alt clients (though idk if that involves expensive proxying to avoid passing around tokens so maybe not feasible).
