Maintaining the moving ball of yt-dlp seems to be more of a clusterfuck.

All you have on iOS are clusterfucks - which don't even work on VPN.
You're lying about the account because Google knows VPN better than you do.
The question isn't whether or not you're lying - but WHY you're lying.

Are you trying to protect Apple's soiled honor because you don't like that yt-dlp works on linux
yt-dlp works on windows
yt-dlp works on android
yt-dlp works on the mac
yt-dlp can't work on iOS

If you claim you don't need to download geo-limited or age-restricted
videos, there still are thousands of other useful capabilities which are
ported to each of the operating systems on the newsgroup line - except iOS.

Here's another that you need to use one more Apple clusterfuck for. https://www.google.com/search?q=why+isn%27t+the+tor+browser+on+iOS

The Tor project is ported to linux
The Tor project is ported to windows
The Tor project is ported to android
The Tor project is ported to the mac
The Tor project can not be ported to iOS

"Apple requires browsers on iOS to use something called Webkit, which
prevents Onion Browser [or any other browser] from having the same privacy protections as Tor Browser"

If you say that the onion browser clusterfuck is "almost privacy", then I
can give you another, and another, and another and another useful
capability which is ported to every operating system except for iOS.

You will never run out of excuses for why iOS can't do what the others do.
But that doesn't change that everyone else is doing those things - but you.
