there is also uh, god, I always forget its name whenever I want to use it....

AHHHHH YESS, I FINALLY REMEMBERED IT AFTER 5 minutes of thinking.

https://cobalt.tools

This has definitely helped me a lot in a lot of times when I didn't have my pc or just in general too, their api was also pretty hackable too actually and they support more than youtube

Btw did I mention its open source?

Tho the last time I did try to install something from cobalt.tools it wasn't working

One time, I remember that a group of girls in my previous school were downloading yt vids on school lab via some sketchy website and I said to them to use cobalt.tools while I was walking & I definitely farmed some aura too I suppose which I am sure literally everyone involved in the scene have forgotten except me who is recalling it right now.

The instance https://cobalt.meowing.de is currently working for YouTube, which is very useful

thanks, didn't knew but I guess, its great!

Another thing I like about cobalt is the api, I had cooked something that could be a bang in duckduckgo of sorts that would download the video from the api of cobalt but I just couldn't deliver the bang and also I needed some custom facing thing in the background but now I think that I can have something like cloudflare.

Imagine having this thing in browser where !yt-dlp <youtube video> just downloads it or refers us to a working cobalt instance y'know.

I might build something like this for cf workers or smth. What are your thoughts?
