Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

yt dlp can do a lot, combined with a bash script it can do almost anything. I recently made myself a script that downloads every channel in a playlist if anyone needs that actually
Snacher is just a GUI for yt-dlp.
But i would guess you can do alot more with yt-dlp directly just might be a bit of a learning curve.
I can’t look it up right now but there’s a “yt archivist” type implementation using yt-dlp in very specific ways to archive entire YT channels with lots of metadata
yt-dlp. I've been using it for a couple of years and I've never had a problem. I've used it to go through and download videos from my very large playlists. Also the devs are awesome and were very quick to help me with bugs/issues.
It does use the terminal though. I think there's a GUI someone made for it?
