Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Since the last update, yt-dlp has downloaded TikTok videos with watermarks. Do I need to pass a specific argument with "--dump-single-json" to get video formats without watermarks?

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
