### Problem Description
It is impossible to view members-only videos without loggin into youtube account which is not going to be implemented any time soon if ever https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/4232

### Proposed Solution
Add an option to hide the videos as long as they are member-only, same way as Freetube is able to hide upcoming premiers.

### Alternatives Considered
A more versatile but orders of magnitude more complicated solution is to add the ability to log into youtube account. That way if a video requires authorisation such as member-only or [age-restricted ](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6243)video, Freetube could automatically use the credentials to be able to show the video. The user experience provided by Freetube is absolutely exceptional and being able to log in would elevate it even more. Keeping this optional should not affect the people who are concerned with their privacy (and they would have to log into youtube to watch the restricted videos anyway, so what privacy in that case?)
