Thanks, I was only aware of being able to download auto subtitles from yt-dlp and downloading description into a text file. Is it possible to download comments too? Depending on what kind of video you watch, like if you are watching a video about grammar on foreign languages, sometimes there are people giving good advices in approaching it in a more simplistic way or easier to remember.
e: apparently there's
--write-commentsfor that to save into a json fileWasn't aware of the flag you found, so my best suggestion would have been something like the extensions SingleFile and WebScrapBook. =O
I've used SingleFile long ago before I started switching many softwares I used to more ethical/privacy-wise better ones and I never knew it was open-source that's good to know, thanks. Since then I have been using HTTrack for pages sometimes. I didn't know about WebScrapBook though, thanks for making me aware of it. I also never tried to save videos with softwares witj the purpose to save pages however I could make some use of these suggestions for other things, my goal is to automate it and while these suggestions are all good maybe not for automated synchronization with these platforms or other video sharing platforms. It's still very helpful your suggestions nevertheless, thank you!
