I haven't used yt-dlp in a hot minute, but it used to have a simple bypass for age-restricted videos that didn't need browser cookies. Anyone know if that still works?

yt-dlp is still alive, well and actively developed. It can now target abunch of different platforms.

Sure, but what about the age-restriction bypass, specifically?
