+If you need to download a list of YouTube videos and don't want to download the
+actual YouTube list (which `yt-dlp` supports), you can use the following method.
+
+```js
+// Used to get list of raw URL's from YouTube's video tab'.
+// Copy them into videos.txt.
+document.querySelectorAll('#contents a.ytd-thumbnail.style-scope.ytd-thumbnail').forEach(el => console.log(el.href))
+```
+
+Download and install https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.
+
+```sh
+# This will download all videos in videos.txt.
+yt-dlp --batch-file videos.txt -N `nproc` -f webm
+```
