Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

yt-dlp is recommending PhantomJS for more advanced downloads that need to execute stuff on the page. Since this package is not maintained (the main repo is archived), this could create problems in the future. It might be worthwhile to investigate alternatives or have someone pickup maintenance.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• [X] Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• [ ] If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
