I use it like this: * Never go to https://youtube.com https://youtube.com to find anything. Only go to YouTube when it's a known link you found on another site

I use it like this: * Never go to https://youtube.com https://youtube.com to find anything. Only go to YouTube when it's a known link you found on another site. I don't need recommendations or ads * Copy the URL, paste it into yt-dlp * Wait a few seconds for the video to download and watch it in my viewer of choice with no crap attached.

To add to this, you can directly play stuff in mpv if yt-dlp is installed and in your PATH. Combine this with a window manager shortcut to open the clipboard contents in mpv and the experience is pretty slick. You can also dump the URLs in a .m3u file and watch a bunch in a row with mpv that way.
