SSVID.APP... Legit YouTube Video Downloader?

[Troy Jollimore]

I help out a friend that isn't all that computer literate, so YT-DLP isn't really an option. He occasionally downloads videos from YouTube for personal archival purposes. Recently, one of the YouTube channels began imposing age-restrictions on the videos. This was a hurdle, because this 'broke' his usual video downloader apps. So he turned to an online website, SSVID.NET and paid for a Premium membership so he could download higher resolutions. This was working great! Up until it started having little glitches a few weeks back. Now, when you click to download a video, it directs you to download an App from Github. But when I go to Github, the repository redirects you to their website, SSVID.APP, for more info. Github itself hosts the downloads, but that's no guarantee of safety.

Though it's a well-made site, this doesn't sit well with me. There are next to NO reviews or references to this site and software, except for the ones they provide themselves, and why was there no mention of this to their members? Why would they not continue using their current domain name? On Github, it looks like they're not even a year old, with no 'stars' or other references that I can find anywhere.

What say you? Legit? Or 3lit3 Haxxorz?!?
