there is also uh, god, I always forget its name whenever I want to use it....
AHHHHH YESS, I FINALLY REMEMBERED IT AFTER 5 minutes of thinking.
https://cobalt.tools
This has definitely helped me a lot in a lot of times when I didn't have my pc or just in general too, their api was also pretty hackable too actually and they support more than youtube
Btw did I mention its open source?
Tho the last time I did try to install something from cobalt.tools it wasn't working
One time, I remember that a group of girls in my previous schools were downloading yt vids on school lab via some sketchy website and I said to them to use cobalt.tools while I was walking & I definitely farmed some aura too I suppose which I am sure literally everyone involved in the scene have forgotten except me who is recalling it right now.
