Youtube age-gate bypass is broken for non-embeddable videos unless logged-in cookies are given. You can provide cookies using either the --cookies or --cookies-from-browser options. There is currently no known way to circumvent the age-gate without authentication details. If you know any way to (or know any app that can) bypass the age-gate (without auth), let us know.
