  Although I absolutely understand that the common folk will have a hard time downloading porn in the CLI.

    Eh, I used a one time email generator before there were browser plugins to download embedded videos anyway, they can have my “data”.

    You can use the yt-dlp executable in the Youtube-DLG GUI interface. The interface is fine, the only thing wrong with it was that the executable behind it couldn’t keep up with YT fuckery. They may have fixed it since then, but once I started manually updating it with yt-dlp I never stopped, so I don’t even know anymore. And I’m sure there are better alternatives, I just got used to using this one.

    So if you want the GUI front end, it’s profoundly easy. Download youtube-dlg, rename yt-dlp.exe to youtube-dl.exe, and then put it into the appropriate folder (%appdata%/youtube-dl/ on Windows). Overwrite or just delete the existing youtube-dl.exe because it doesn’t work anyway.

    If you are installing Youtube-DLG for the first time you may have to manually install ffmpeg as well, if memory serves.

    The sole drawback is that, for obvious reasons, updates are now manual. Every so often YT breaks it again and I just go download yt-dlp again, rename it, and put the new one in the Youtube-DLG folder. Job done.

      That doesn’t sound easy at all for someone who lacks the technical ability to type/paste ”yt-dlp [URL]”

    There are sites where you just plug in the URL and the video downloads.

      That’s what that is. You copy the link and type

      yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
      

      And it downloads, if you add -x between the command and the URL it extracts the MP3 (If you want music).

      It has 100% less ads and malware than those shady websites (who are just running yt-dlp in the background).
