bro, i'll probably figure it out on my own, but i only just noticed that yt-dlp has been giving me low-res videos, for who knows how long now, because of a change requiring a "PO" token:
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563
the issue was made march 8th, so it's over a month old. searching "dlp token" on the 4chan /g/ archives, i see a single thread about it from march 11th:
https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/104679251/
but it is clearly a happening thread. i'd really hate to have to read this shit. i just wish i could be spoonfed how to set one up. i wish yt-dlp streamlined the process somehow in an update by telling me what to do. i am really bad with tech and this shit gives me grey hairs. again, i'll probably figure it out on my own, though. but sucks so bad
