As someone else mentioned, use this shortcut that uses ashell and yt-dlp. It‘s pretty neat: https://routinehub.co/shortcut/7284/

can you point to any signs justifying your optimistic thoughts?

Maybe it‘s a legalese explanation of a problematic aspect of the fediverse though. When a commercial entity comes in that deals in people‘s data, which doesn‘t just store data on its servers, but creates a product out of the data. And it seems like it can do that here without you ever agreeing or even knowing about it.

why should it be ok that Meta collects this information though?

Ah, hm, we have this in Germany, plus huge fees by lawyers hired by copyright holders when getting caught file sharing. Win Win
