I use -f 22 to set a lower quality actually, because most videos on youtube are needlessly larger than my 5K monitor.

Higher resolution videos actually have better bitrates on youtube. Like if you select 4k even if your monitor is just 1080p, the video will look much better.

The video stutters for me if I do that

All the more reason just to use yt-dlp. I know it takes a tiny bit of time to set up, but it's well worth it. I'm able to download 20-minute videos that would have otherwise buffered in less than a minute. I can simultaneously queue up a bunch of videos, and watch them with zero stuttering.
