Your question
Video DownloadHelper can’t grab YouTube videos anymore if those clips are locked behind the age-check wall. Basically, if you’ve gotta be logged in to watch, the apps just throw up their hands and don’t even offer a download button. Looks like they can’t process the age-gate flow.
What’s missing here is some kind of dummy login session - without that, any attempt to bypass the gate is basically doomed from the start.
Cheers
