    The screenshot is an old version of MacOS. Either install yt-dlp (at the command line) or, and this is better by far, get the Downie app. I’ve been downloading videos all morning.

      yes yt-dlp,
      no to random app that’s probably just a wrapper for yt-dlp with spyware and ads bundled in

        There are no ads and not everyone can utilize the command line (I actually taught someone that they could double-click to do something super basic that you’d think everyone knows by now just last week). The developer (Charlie Monroe) makes quality software and I gladly paid for a license. Don’t shit on things you haven’t investigated.

              i feel bad for the younger generations that grew up with locked down apps….
              when i was 8, my first computer didn’t have pictures on it… my dad was a programmer so we got a new computer every year… my next one had graphics… the next one had speakers….
              the first program i hacked was a dos menu program i locked myself out of (at 8 or so)….
              for me, apps that magically do stuff in the background are painful….
              i use a terminal emulator to run yt-dlp directly on my phone….
