Yt-dlp: External JavaScript runtime now required for full YouTube support

I do not understand why Google doesn't just explicitly permit people who pay for premium to use yt-dlp or other tools to watch YouTube however the fuck they want. Put that in your terms, Google -- so people aren't afraid they'll lose their GMail because they wanted to watch a video -- and you'll get more paying customers...

Seriously, there's even that "Download" button but it goes to some weird janky browser-local storage instead of just giving me a damn file.

(I don't think they'd realistically get more paying customers, but I would appreciate it anyway.)
