I use jdownloader2. I think it uses yt-dl on the backend though? Like the original yt-dl. I’m not sure.
I was curious so I downloaded the Mac version of yt-dlp (as I am on Mac), couldn’t get it to run. And I’m comfortable with the command line.
YouTube kinda is cracking down on downloading though. If a video is marked as adult (you need to sign in to view it), it can’t be downloaded. A lot of “official videos” (like trailers from the studio) can’t be downloaded. Subtitles can’t be downloaded. That’s in jd2. Not sure about yt-dlp.

You’re probably thinking of youtube-dl. I’d guess that it most-likely used that at one point, but probably switched to yt-dlp when YouTube started throttling single-stream downloads.
