I use ytp-dl every day to essentially check my "subscriptions" to various Youtube channels. Only today, a couple hours ago, did I start having a problem. Same ytp-dl (latest version 2023.03.04), same OS (Linux Mint), same website (Youtube). But now, most/all of the subscribed channels are pulling down THOUSANDS of pages for some reason.
ytp-dl -f 'bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]' -i --download-archive w2aew.txt https://www.youtube.com/user/w2aew/videos
