There are 4 videos in the article, each with different forms of predatory approach.

It's very neat.

Using the above gift link as argument to yt-dlp, you can download all four videos in one fell swoop. If you want to just watch the four videos and not read the article.

  yt-dlp --add-metadata "https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/science/cuttlefish-camouflage-huting-crabs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1U4.y9tH.Aujw5YLUNl3v&smid=url-share"

Maybe you have to update yt-dlp, or maybe the link has been used by too many people? For me it worked.
