WRITE QUESTION HERE
saw that python 2.7 will stop working at the end of 2020. I updated my python to 3.6.2. , and was having the below problem.

youtube-dl -f 1080p+Audio_Only https://www.twitch.tv/videos/527836570
[twitch:vod] 527836570: Downloading vod info JSON
ERROR: Unable to download JSON metadata: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:748)> (caused by URLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:748)'),))

I was still able to get away with this problem with --no-check-certificate (a solution provided by previous posts). Anyway can I solve this and not have to type --no-check-certificate each time I use youtube-dl ? I was thinking maybe removing python 3.6.2 and install version before python 3.6 would work, but I couldn't remove it nor could I install the previous versions.

If it is any help,

• I installed youtube-dl with brew
• which youtube-dl returns
  /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/youtube-dl
• which python3 returns
  /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3

Thanks in advance for any help or direction you can provide 🙏
