What this is
These are sanitized receipts (timestamp, URL, body byte-length, SHA‑256, and a bot-wall phrase detector result) showing YouTube returning a logged-out interstitial: “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot”.
No response headers are stored and no cookies are intentionally logged in these receipts.

Safe reproduction (body-only fetch)
If you want to reproduce without saving headers/cookies, fetch the body to a temp file and compute a hash:
tmp=$(mktemp)
curl -L --max-time 20 -o "$tmp" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq15at0yfYM&t=45s"
wc -c < "$tmp"
python3 - <<'PY'
import hashlib, sys
p=sys.argv[1]
print(hashlib.sha256(open(p,'rb').read()).hexdigest())
PY
"$tmp"
rm -f "$tmp"
Note: the interstitial text uses a curly apostrophe (you’re), so naive matching for you're may miss it.
Why this page exists
When people can’t watch logged-out, YouTube view counts may be suppressed. This page gives a compact, verifiable record of the symptom and points to safe alternatives (hub + mirrors).
