Feature description

On YouTube you are able to open the page of members-only videos even if you can't watch them. You can see a title and a thumbnail, and most importantly, read the description of a video. NewPipe only shows the error page "This content is only available to the users who have paid." I would like to be able to read the description of a video even though I can't watch it.

Why do you want this feature?

I'd like to be have an idea of what kind of content the creator makes for the paid members.

Personally, I don't even want to see them. If I can't watch them, they're just clutter. Please just get rid of them and make it like it was...
*A toggle in the settings could also work

Or at-the-least, add [PAID] or 💰 or 💲or similar at the start of the video titles, so we know which ones are Members Only?

On the YouTube website or app, you see "⭐Members Only" below the title, but in NewPipe there is nothing different between how they look, and regular videos.

YouTube inserts members-only videos (i.e., videos that require channel
membership to watch) into the Videos tab. Because the extractor unable
to distinguish between them and "normal" videos, they may appear in
subscriptions feeds.
This enables the extractor to check if videos require membership,
allowing clients to filter them.

YouTube has started to mix members-only videos into the normal videos in
the Videos tab. This filters them, as they cannot be watched without an
account, leading to clutter in the feed.
Requires TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1280.
