Add a very limited age-restriction bypass

Pull Request Type

  • Feature Implementation

Description

Note for users that stumble upon this pull request: It is entirely expected that most age-restricted videos still WILL NOT PLAY, please DO NOT open any issues about this pull request not working.

This pull request adds a very limited age-restriction bypass, thanks to yt-dlp for finding it yt-dlp/yt-dlp@09a6c68. From my testing it only worked with one single video, one of the test cases from yt-dlp. As most age-restricted videos still won't play, I decided it was best to leave the wording of the age-restriction message as is.

I'm still getting the age restricted blocking page when trying to access the video under Testing.

Edit: I'm dumb; I had "Show Family Friendly Only" on in my dev env.
