What's up with that example token blurb from your config?

It shouldn't look like that.

It should look like this:

            "api-key": "<token here>",
            "api-secret": "<token here>",
            "access-token": "<token here>",
            "access-token-secret": "<token here>",

taken from here (not values of tokens). https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man5/gallery-dl.conf.5.html
