This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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 can’t wait to download that!
I did legitimatly use a tool named that when I was like 12.
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….
I love termux.
On a mac, this works too: https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui
