YouTube wants me to sign in to watch it because it might be inappropriate for me

It probably should be. I mentioned it's NSFW. His Quentin Tarantino movies were graphic and violent.

I don't agree with making you sign in either. Here's a mirror: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=c0LBi1MHoaU

The combination of mpv and yt-dlp lets you watch it without signing in. Not sure how they achieve that though.

YouTube's CDN doesn't enforce authentication, only the UI, account backends, etc do. So if you can determine the URL(s) for retrieving the video from their CDN, you can watch it without auth.

Apparently, youtube-dl can't do this anymore (assuming it ever did), since trying to download an age-gated (which was my strat) video fails where it used to succeed.

It still works in yt-dlp though.
