To add to this, I'd like a program that automatically downloads videos from youtube channels as soon as they get uploaded.

just use the recency flags from youtube-dl with a crontab that scans fast enough (be sure to avoid blocks from youtube idk if there are any but it seems likely), as youtube-dl don't redo anything

edit: another way is to perhaps use some sorta 'youtube-bell-api'

edit2: one can further expand this into uploading this to a video site he likes automatically just after that youtube channel got uploaded, an immediate video mirror service. that'd be interesting. like 'if your channel has over 10k subs and my site likes your channel, and your video often gets banned, then my site's gonna mirror them for you', that kinda thing.
