Error 403 workaround fix

Hello.

So, these days I wasn't able to download anything at all

It was always giving the "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" issue.

I tried several different settings, removed cookies, etc, and nothing was working... Until now.

All I had to do is to create a new template (More > Command Templates) and add the following command:

--extractor-args "youtube:player_client=tv,mweb;lang=en"

From my understanding, this command overwrites the default settings and the only difference is that it downloads to a "Command" folder instead of the "Video" folder

For anyone having issues, it's worth a try.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that this was the YTDLnis app on Android, stable version.

Advice for the women

So I've been seeing a few posts/comments ranting about guys pics and profiles, so here's the same but for the ladies:

No landscape pictures
- You really think we're gonna swipe right on a profile full of landscape photos?
No AI photos
- Same thing as before.
- You know how to use ChatGPT/Gemini/etc. Good for you, so does everybody else.
- Not to mention the fact that it should be considered catfishing, basically.
No group photos
- Usually you're not even the cutest one, and I'm not gonna be guessing who is who.
- Or, if you're gonna do it, at least have the decency to blur out the other people on the photo
Too many negative traits on your bio
- So you don't like this, don't like that, don't want this, don't want that, etc... And then you don't really bother telling what do you really like or want.
More details on your profile
- Many don't even bother adding details on the bio/about me/looking for/etc...
Do you know how to smile? Or have any different face expression?
- Making that dead-cat look face isn't pretty, it's just basic.
- You might think that it hides your wrinkles or something like that, but no man really cares about that.
No silhouette photos
- They're so artsy... great. Pass.
- Doesn't make you mysterious, It just shows that you're not confident enough with yourself
Know how to have a normal conversation
- One word replies and openings means nothing.
- Cool, you have several matches... so what? If you're more interested in other matches I'm not gonna be around waiting as a backup. And it doesn't mean that I'll be interested on your single word replies. The minimum you can do is write like a normal human being.

I know that many of the things said here applies to both profiles.
The amount of crappy profiles can be really astounding, hopefully this will help out with some of you out there.

On a positive note (kinda)...
I hope you keep having stuff like "Looking for a strong, independant, humble and generous man that knows how to treat me as the princess that I am" BS ... it helps filter out the gold diggers and lesser interesting personalitites. There's still gonna be morons that fall for it, but I'd like to think that most men are smarter than that.

Anyway, I was just bored and finished my coffee now, time to do something more useful than being on Reddit.
Take care and good luck out there.

A collection of openers and opinions

I often see around here that women complain that men aren't creative enough with their first message (or just creepy), and men complain that they don't get enough matches. 

Well, these are the usual first messages that I got this last month and a half or so. I didn't include some good matches that I've had in it. 

But I do have it written on my profile that I don't reply to "Hello" and its variations. It's one of the only things I've written in my bio (the other being where I live and I also mention that I'm not into endless online chatting). Someone told me here that I'm hurting my chances by not replying to that. Or that I should lower my standards. I completely disagree with that. 

In fact, I think it's a great way to filter out the people that don't even bother to read your profile, or that don't even bother to make an effort. And I do sometimes wonder if they'd have the same opinion if the roles were reversed. 

Someone also said that these are openers and that they made an effort to text me. The only effort I see here is that they expect me to do all the work. 

I've also had someone here tell me that I should just leave Bumble, that it wasn't made for me. That's another statement that I completely disagree with. I've met some great people in this app. Even some of my best friends. 

But I think that people in general put too much pressure on these apps to have something more romantic or sexual on the moment they meet or start speaking. I don't care about that at all, a walk in the park or a coffee meetup is good enough to spend some quality time with someone. Even if you two never see each other again. But I do see a decline in conversions from the time I've used this since the last time that that I was single (years ago). 

My suggestions, as a man, if anyone cares: 

- Turn off notifications except for the messages. It's a good way to keep the app in the background and you won't feel the need to open it constantly.

- Don't even bother with replying to prompts, unless you have something funny or interesting to say about it. If they want to text you they will.

- Don't add your whole life to your profile. They don't need to know everything about you before you start talking.

- Add a couple of decent photos and preferably include photos of your hobbies or that someone else took from you. I don't even have any group photos, but most of the photos I have you can clearly see that they were taken by someone else.

- I've had women asking me to take them to dinner at the first meeting, or a fancy restaurant. Just unmatch them. They don't care about you, only what you might be able to provide.

- Everyone's an expert around here, or so it seems (well, kinda). And everyone has their own point of view. Just take the opinions that make sense to you.

I might even be wrong with the way I use the app. But I'm fine with that. I still meet great people almost weekly, but also people with different ambitions/needs, even if 80% of the matches is just noise like the ones on these screenshots.

 Anyway, that's just my two cents.
