Its ability to use cookies from your browser is so much better than the original yt-dl it’s not even funny.

I rip videos but I don’t have a good archival story. Thanks for the yt-dlp tip!

Does yt-dlp support downloading a whole channel at the highest available resolution when that might be different for every video?
