    You think typing yt-dlp URL is rough for users? I cannot think of a simpler command line command other than maybe ls.

      not really though. it is more like this, simplified:

      yt-dlp URL --output /path/with/all/the/funky/patameters.%(ext) --all-the-worlds-parameters-for-good-format-quality-subs-whateverelse
      

      yes if you want to download a single video or two, the basic command works somewhat, but not usable if you want to download lots of videos from multiple channels

        You’re making up cases that don’t need to exist. The basic command and its defaults works fine. It can download every video from every channel. Don’t need anything else.
