Wow thanks for the heads up on that! I kept getting tempted by that "Download" button thinking "No...it can't be that easy."

It's kinda amazing how much content uses existing content...so they quietly can't ruin downloading without tanking a lot of traffic.

Exactly, thinking that is what I was getting pulled me over the edge, I sometimes remember a music video I want to listen to on my phone during my commute and I don't want to spend 30 minutes either getting on my PC to download it with a tool, or using a third party downloader which can at times be shady. So upgrading that to a single click in the app seemed like a great deal. Crushingly disappointed when I found out how it actually was. Turns out the real answer was NewPipe, which I don't even have to pay for.
