I think idea here was to download html (main). page with wget/curl and then
grep video url out of it.

but it only works if url NOT constructed on the fly with javascript!

even yt-dlp is forced to use yet another external dependency for extracting
video urls from increasingly complex (and intentionally anti-copy)  youtube
pages .....
