[BUG] Exception: Unable to parse yt initial info #251

Basic information

Describe the bug

Suddenly youtube is asking to "sign in to verify". obviously the only solution is to sign in (or provide signed in cookies).

This is very weird because it only seems to be happening on "digitalocean" IP's and not on AWS IP's.

Only solution is adding proper documentation for "cookies" args that is being used to go around this problem.

DigitalOcean's IPs were "blacklisted" on the YT side recently. So it's out of the library's scope maybe.

Totally agree!
