Not needed (unless the target site is blocked in your country); as the videos themselves are publicly viewable. yt-dlp behaves like a typical viewer to these sites.
Thanks for the info :)
Just so you have a heads up:
If you use yt-dlp like a regular user, you shouldn't have a problem. If you use it to download like a thousand videos at once then YouTube may block you out or rate limit you or something.
If that happens, or that's your use case, then you may need to use a VPN
Good to know, appreciate the heads up :)
