Mobility Mary or Fedsmoker are good ones too. There's a degree lightheartedness and absurdity to them, without getting too gross or angry.

Honey boo boo.

Null was probably the most sympathetic and honest coverage I've ever seen of TLC family that everyone recognizes.

"Buying Freedom With Alternative Money" by JC Moon https://madattheinternet.com/2022/03/27/buying-freedom-with-alternative-money/




This is the kind of music you make when you can't actually sing. It's like part of a Lana del Rey song, if they cut it before she starts actually singing.

Also I was thinking, remember when Ralph got kicked out of a bowling alley because he didn't have ID? Was this whole bowling event a way to get back at them? It went as well as any of his revenge schemes, so I personally believe this schizo theory.

Unless yt-dlp changed the default naming scheme, there may be an extra step that involves changing the file naming scheme so it doesn't exceed windows file path character limits. I would run into this a lot with twitter videos since yt-dl would try to put the text of the tweet as the filename. IIRC the error you get back is something about temp files and the reason is because it's trying to create temp files with the name specified and windows is choking on the length of the path, but the error meaningfully explains none of this.

For most videos it is just the above yes.

If you're downloading from Odysee, you need to add the:

yt-dlp --no-check-certificate [Odysee URL]

Otherwise exactly that. I've never had issues with Twitter, but it does save it as "[Person Username] - [Whole text of Tweet] [number from end of URL]"

Josh's video is still relevant as yt-dlp is more or less exactly the same as youtube-dl. The documentation on their Github is useful, if a video requires something weird (such as logging in) or you want to know how to save audio only or get whole playlists, it will tell you how to do it (or just Google it and change any instance of "youtube-dl" out with "yt-dlp").

yt-dlp --add-metadata --restrict-filenames --output "twitter-%(uploader_id)s-%(upload_date)s-%(id)s.%(height)sp.%(ext)s" URL
This results in much more manageable filenames and writes the tweet info as metadata to the video file. Example:
twitter-PepitoTheCat-20210214-1360938844649000966.576p.mp4

Code: 
File tags:
 Artist: Pépito

You can use yt-dlp -J URL to find out which of the --output options are valid for the particular site, some offer more than others. You can pipe the output into jq to make it easier to read with | jq .. There's a list of all the possible ones listed in the yt-dlp readme.

edit: You can get into some tricky stuff like making TikTok metadata write correctly using the --parse-metadata option to switch out meta fields, but that's getting into the weeds and I haven't tried it in a while. This worked a few months ago:
--parse-metadata "title:(?s)(?P<meta_title>.+)" --parse-metadata "uploader:(?s)(?P<meta_artist>.+)"

Yeah I was an idiot with most of this stuff until I started using Linux, thanks for the help.
