to download content I run yt-dlp, current version: stable@2026.08.19
I don’t have an account with either google or youtube nor plan I to.
the content I look for doesn’t exist on other platforms.

Is there even a way when you do have an account? We have a work Google account…

every bypass to age-gating at youtube that i’ve used, tried, or looked at no longer works, and hasn’t for awhile.
Tampermonkey, or maybe greasemonkey, had scripts which made this possible. Im not sure if they still work but it is worth checking out.
