YouTube has shut this loophole down to prevent illegal copyright infringement. They shut down a lot of third party apps. The ad blockers caught a lot of the attention but downloaders were included too.

A YouTube premium account allows you to download videos for offline use, but the ways you can use those files are restricted. https://www.techspot.com/news/102637-google-cracking-down-third-party-apps-block-youtube.html#:~:text=In%20a%20support%20document%2C%20Google%20said%20that,content%20is%20not%20available%20on%20this%20app.''
