Here the link to the mp4 file (from my InternetDownloadManager)

https://vp.nyt.com/video/2025/03/03/135038_1_03tb-cuttlefish...



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.

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