sherlock Adding back in youtube possibly?

[x] I'm asking a question regarding Sherlock
[x] My question is not a tech support question.

Question

For adding youtube back you would need to change the URL to https://www.youtube.com/user/{} to find the user search if I am not mistaken and it would return back if it exists or not.

We used to have YouTube but the issue is that there is now a popup which asks us to agree to their privacy policies before it actually gives us a response to whether or not the account exists. If we find a way to fix this, YouTube will be added back :)

we can bypass thee google agreement by adding this cookie in headers :

"headers": {
      "Cookie": "CONSENT=YES+cb.20210418-17-p0.it+FX+917; "
    },

Actually! They using the cookies CONSENT=YES+ Backend of invidious https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/blob/221d47212753620076b44d670acc7cfcaba6d151/src/invidious/yt_backend/connection_pool.cr

=> with CONSENT=YES+ in cookie, we might bypass "consent" popup
