I remember using online tools for this a decade ago. I'm surprised to see a new project for it. I wonder if there's a specific use-case the author needed it for or if this was just for fun.

Have you tried using online tools for this a _week_ ago?

Youtube has been pretty good at fighting the online tools, meanwhile, spammers have been pretty good at filling search results with non-tools full of ads.

I've found it difficult to do the occasional drive-by download, because none of the old tools (kickyouotube, etc) that I remember the name of work or exists, and googling for online services returns junk.

It's not online but stacher works quite well for my needs as a GUI wrapper for yt dlp.
