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.
