Description

I'm suggesting a simple video showing how the software can be used by a standard end user. I'll create the video myself if y'all would like. I think it would be beneficial to everyone.

You'll find others have done this already, though why anyone would need a video is beyond me. Apparently there is a big video sharing site where you can find such stuff:

youtube-dl ytsearch20:"youtube-dl" --flat-playlist --get-title

I don't want to add another maintainable item to the project but if you find existing material unhelpful/wrong/obsolete, as with many of those 20 results, by all means load the YT servers with your better one.

One reason for holding back would be in case a new stable release stream should be created, instead of the nightly releases at present (I'm not suggesting that this is more imminent now than for the last several years). Another might be that users often have trouble more with their own system than with yt-dl itself: eg, macOS users who haven't realised that ? is a special character requiring quotation in the new default zsh shell.

I'd love to see this issue made into a 3rd party project that provides freely licensed tutorial videos about yt-dl. Ideally even rendered from git-friendly playbooks that can thus easily be patched, translated etc. That would be the advantage over most exisiting YouTube videos on that topic. Exceeds the mission scope for this repo though.
