bug description

Hello. Im really sorry if thats the wrong flair, but I'm having an issue trying to download a reel from Facebook, as corny as that is. I copy the link of the video I want and paste it in and then it tries to download a different video but from the same creator. Is there a way to fix this?

reproduction steps

  1. Copy link of intended reel
  2. Go to cobalt.tools
  3. Paste link after spinner stops
  4. Click the arrow
  5. Different video than the one intended shows up in new tab

screenshots

No response

platform information

Additionally, the one it's trying to download is the reel posted two weeks before the one I'm trying to download
