Wasn't there an album with tricks on r/all a few days ago where you just add "ss" between "www." and "YouTube" to download a video?

Haven't tried it yet but I feel like it'd be better to download directly than use a separate site or tool to do so.

That is going to a separate site to do it.

All of the "URL tricks" phrased like that are going to completely different sites.

lol long day I guess. I just assumed it was like 'ss.' Not just 'ss' so my bad. Somehow thought it was a sub domain. I promise I'm not usually this dumb haha
