Guidelines

Describe the bug

Trying to open a private youtube video causes an error without explaining why.
example: A music video

If "Show family-firendly only" is enabled, FreeTube shows "This video is age-restricted" even if it's not.
If "Show family-firendly only" is disabled, FreeTube fails to read the like count and shows a broken video player.

Expected Behavior

Show a message like "This video is private" or "FreeTube cannot view private videos. They require a Google account and access from the channel".
