It also works for Facebook (!), though FB keeps changing the API / keys so make sure to keep an updated youtube-dl.

People often assume that youtube-dl only works with YouTube because of the name, but it actually works with a really huge amount of sites, including Vimeo and Twitch.
You can see the full list of extractors that they have in the source here:

I have also found it works pretty well (works 80% to 90% of the time), at fetching videos from random websites that self host a video

Perhaps they should just rename it to something more generic like "video-dl", but then again I suspect its primary use is for YouTube and the other sites are just "extras" it grew over time.
Some genres are very popular on YouTube but not elsewhere (relatively), New Retro Wave been an example that comes to mind, good programming music.
