This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You can also use this trick to download YouTube videos without the need of a 3rd party website!
Copy the URL of the YouTube video you wanna download
VLC / Media / Open network stream... And paste your URL
Once the video has opened, Tools / Media Information
Copy the URL in the "Location" field and paste it into your web browser, you should have the option to save the video
It's a couple of steps but once you memorize what you need to do it's a million times faster (and I'd wager equally times as private) than finding one of those websites to give you a link.
or just use youtube-dl
edit: here's an electron gui wrapper: youtube-dl-gui
Yes! Though yt-dlp has been the preferred fork for a good while now. yt-dlg is a nice GUI that supports downloading with the fork.
Neat! I figured out accidentally that you don't have to do step 2, you can just open VLC and ctrl+v!
I am downloading a test video now, thanks that's very cool!
Nice, step 3 can also be accomplished with CTRL-I, at least on the windows version of VLC
Amazing! I showed my husband last night, he was equally amazed. :)
