Here I'm just talking about pasting the link into another website to download. I just learned quite a bit from your comment lol.

I'll definitely be checking out the stuff you linked to

If you want to download YouTube videos, don't use a website for this. Check out yt-dlp, you can either use the command-line tool or a GUI like yt-dlp-gui or ClipGrab if you want a noob-friendly version. If you need to download Videos on your phone, try Seal.

Also, most of the solutions I mentioned in my previous comment also support video downloading, but it's not always reliable.

That's awesome. Can you download playlists with any of those?

I downloaded playlists with yt-dlp many times in the past. I'm not sure about any of the other tools though.
