Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

came across this link here: https://twitter.com/_Saraurora_/status/1614746772974501896

Seems to be “age restricted”, cause if not logged in it shows this message on the twitter page: Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old. To view this media, you’ll need to log in to Twitter.

Could not test this with --cookies though, due to limited internet access at the moment.

all other public links download just fine.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
