Anyone know how to play age-restricted YouTube videos without an account?

Here's a good test video.

- YouTube

Bekijk je favoriete video's, luister naar de muziek die je leuk vindt, upload originele content en deel alles met vrienden, familie en anderen op YouTube.

(Title: Mortal Kombat 9 - Expert Arcade Ladder (Sub Zero/3 Rounds/No Losses)
Author: Piecemeal)

I have tried Invidious, VLC, youtube-dl, yt-dlp, smtube, and Freetube. None of them work. Nothing fucking works. Please tell me there's a way to watch these videos without bowing down to Google's horseshit account demands.

Its been a couple years but I remember a site I used. I think it was called Proxytube. It let me share a video without the recipients needing to be logged in. No idea if I have the name right or if it still works, but it may be something to lead you to what you're looking for.
 
Invidious instances allow this, but I don't know if it's changes recently - youtube's been a bit fucked about ad-blockers, so they're up to something.

What about the other two posts in this thread? I know for sure my post offers the solution.

I haven't gotten around to trying them yet. Both solutions require me to install Tampermonkey and I'd like a solution that didn't involve me installing another extension. lol But... It looks like that will have to be the way regardless. I also have a lot of projects right now. Security/reliability standards need to get finished so Angel can look at them. The old smilies need to be imported, and I need to do a write-up on critical thinking and investigation along with a write-up on MKULTRA, manipulation techniques, and resisting them. And as a cherry on top of the cake, I have so much more Ghost in the Shell to watch and review.

Fair. It's good to keep busy I hear.
I also hear that you should give projects to those who already have them because then they get done faster, but that's another thing..

Well, some people work better under pressure and some people do not.

Bump for update.

This doesn't work. I'm afraid I also tried a bunch of other TamperMonkey and GreaseMonkey scripts and none of them worked either. Glanced at some Firefox add-ons. Looks like none of them work as well.

Fuck YouTube...

It seems you waited too long. I just confirmed that it does not work any longer, for me either. I'll do some browsing after work and see if I can't find another script.
