I don't see a mention of yt-dlp in the yt-dl issue tracker, so why is this? Does dlp autocorrect videos to the youtube-nocookie.com embed (as stated https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27354423) ?

Nope. There's two issues being talked about here. If you are in the EU then you have to provide cookies from an age-verified account. Otherwise, the age-gate bypass still works afaik. But the latter is broken in the current youtube-dl release (fixed in yt-dlp).

Also, yt-dl doesn't like yt-dlp to be mentioned on their issue tracker from what I hear.
