    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).
