Error Sign in to confirm your age. This video may be inappropriate for some users.

On some channels I have noticed that some media gives the error
'Sign in to confirm your age. This video may be inappropriate for some users.'
Is it possible to sign in with tubesync?

It is possible to sign in with tubesync by exporting your YouTube cookies and saving them as a text file that tubesync can detect and pass down to yt-dlp, see: https://github.com/meeb/tubesync/blob/main/docs/using-cookies.md
Note that this is generally not considered a good idea though as it may allow YouTube to detect your usage of yt-dlp powered clients and link it to your real YouTube (and Google) accounts. Up to you though.
Thanks for pointing that out!
This seems related to yt-dlp/yt-dlp#11296 (comment) where the age-restriction workaround doesn't work anymore
@crazy-max yes, this is the same issue.
