Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nah I'm sorry. There is a point where it's unreasonable to expect someone to learn something, but that isn't it.

Using yt-dlp is extremely straightforward.

Being ignorant and proud of it is a horrid personality trait. The average person knows how to drive a car, how to call others using their phone and how to use an ATM.

Typing 7 characters and copy-pasting a link is well within their abilities.

The average person learns how to drive a car, which is akin to operating it. The average person does not know how to muck about in the engine of their car, and should not, because if they do the wrong thing they could break it. For that matter, I wouldn't even recommend someone OPERATES the car without training.

The terminal is considered for advanced users for the same reason. Learning to copy/paste into the terminal without understanding how to use it could mean I say "oh yeah the fix for that issue is doing rm -rf / --no-preserve-root.

I agree with the sentiment but you are going way too hard on it. Chill.
