This sounds interesting.\ Is it a paid platform or how it works?
yt-dlp is a free and open source tool you run locally to download from YouTube (and others).
I often use it to download whole playlists or channels to then load into my Jellyfin server such as shows for my younger kids or to rip the audio for music.
You'll find most things posted here are not paid :)
Personally I use TubeArchivist
Interesting!! I will take a look, but are they safe? I mean I will not get any surprises later lol
Worst case YT blacklists your IP, usually temporarily. I've had it happen a few times, had to dial up my throttle avoidance settings.
I run mine behind a VPN just to be safe, and even then Google still tries to throttle/rate limit as much as they can - but it's important enough to me that it's still worth trying
