does anyone know a good workaround for watching age-restricted videos from youtube without being forced to having a google account? i've tried

a few browser extensions (very old ones) who promised to solve it. didn't work.
downloading them through classic youtube downloading services. didn't work.
switching to nsfwyoutube.com/url . didn't work does anyone know of a working solution right now? thanks a lot in advance!!

Age-gated vids are login-walled full stop, and I won't be surprised if the rest of the site gets login-walled at some point too, in addition to the implementation of DRM so you can't download YT vids anymore, nor use alt clients.
