So does anyone know the best way to download YouTube videos?
I googled it and all the sites look super shady.

there's a few command line tools, in particular:
- youtube-dl
- ytdl (patched version of youtube-dl)
- ytdl-patched (patched version of above)
I dont think any of them directly handle DRM movies and stuff though, although there's probably a way, or you could record the screen with obs depending on system and browser settings
Ooh. Okay. I don’t care so much about the DRM stuff so that sounds great. I’ll check them out!
yt-dlp is as far as I can tell the most commonly used variant. available in the repos of most linux distributions and with winget install yt-dlp.yt-dlp on windows 10+
