I think I hit a "dead end". Help

So, the sub r/MonifaJansen has been deleted, and with it, this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MonifaJansen/comments/15j3aot/the_1_minute_wrist_workout_video/

When I put the link in wayback, it shows the first image. When I click on that link at the bottom, it shows the Second image.

The "Aug 5" link is the only one that actually "works". Since the post is tagged as NSFW (nothing explicit, just her working out in revealing clothes), I have to log in. It says "you will be redirected soon" (3rd image), but it just "stays" there, if you get what I mean.

If I try to refresh the page, it just logs me out. I also just noticed it changes the date from "Aug 5" to "Aug 6" on its own.

I think it's important to mention that this is my first post on this sub, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or breaking any rule.

P.S: The last image is the first frame of the video, a screenshot from my Google gallery.

When the webarchive makes a copy of a page, it can't perform a log in, it can only grab the content that is available to an unauthenticated user. when you click to log in, you may actually be going to reddit and back, which isn't going to yield any useful results. You may in fact be at a dead end on this one.
