This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The fundamental issue is that he's looking for someone to provide a free service instead of for someone to provide free software.
The latter happens so much more often because it doesn't create ongoing costs for the developer.
What's the best free software?

I haven't tried enough of the options to tell you that.
Personally I use Smooth Video Project anyway, so it's conveniet to also use their SVPtube tool. It just wraps youtube-dl and provides a little GUI for it.
There are a bunch of other GUIs for youtube-dl too
