Youtube also does its best to prevent you from downloading videos, to leave no record of the past.

  If you’re comfortable in the terminal the following works great for archiving: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

    I had issues with youtube severely capping my download speeds using youtube-dl, but had success with https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

      Doh. This is what I initially wanted to link to in the comment. yt-dlp definitely is the better fork, and they seem to address YouTube breaking changes faster than youtube-dl.
