> You will not even have to worry about going to YouTube downloading websites, we can process videos straight from it.
I assume you use yt-dlp for this? In that case, look out for suddenly having your server IP banned by YouTube. I was running yt-dlp on a server for a long time (many months) and then one day it stopped working. And I wasn’t even auto-downloading videos. They were all manually triggered by me, to save copies of videos that I liked. So in total I was downloading far fewer videos on the server than the number of videos I was watching on my phone via the YouTube app on the phone.
