As the sibling poster said, you can and should configure `yt-dlp`. Here are the contents of my config file:

    --restrict-filenames
    --output '%(title)s.%(ext)s'
    --ignore-errors
    --embed-subs
    --all-subs
    --sub-langs all,-live_chat
    --compat-options no-live-chat
    --convert-subs srt
    --format 'vcodec=av01/bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best'
    --convert-thumbnails jpg
    --embed-thumbnail
    --audio-quality 0
    --add-metadata
    --xattrs
    --xattr-set-filesize
    --prefer-free-formats
    --geo-bypass
    --no-mark-watched
    --console-title
    --no-warnings
    --sponsorblock-remove all
    --compat-options embed-thumbnail-atomicparsley
You can look them up on the README. It's quite a bit of work, granted, but to me it was very worth it.
