+
+Body
+
+   Everyone knows `youtube-dl` doesn't really work these days. What
+   **does** work is the successor, `yt-dlp`[1]. I install it
+   via brew[2]:
+
+   ```sh
+   brew install yt-dlp
+   ```
+
+   Here's the contents of my `~/.config/yt-dlp/config` (it automatically
+   titles videos I download):
+
+   ```plain
+   --format-sort "ext"
+   -o ~/Movies/%(title)s.%(ext)s
+   ```
+
+   Finally, here's what's in my `~/.zshrc` (I use zsh[3]):
+
+   ```sh
+   alias yt="yt-dlp"
+
+   ig() {
+     yt $1 -f mp4
+   }
+   ```
+
+   Downloading YouTube videos is as easy as:
+
+   ```sh
+   yt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5zwYVh8i5w
+   ```
+
+   And Instagram videos:
+
+   ```sh
+   # this is an hour-long video and Instagram pauses playback if you dare multitask
+   ig https://www.instagram.com/p/DCDRaRoxJYW/
+   ```
