There used to be a time where you can load up a YouTube video on the site and go offline then watch the video.

You can't do that any more, unless you actively find a way to download the said video.

Uh, youtube absolutely has a save for offline viewing option.

In the browser and without paying for Premium on mobile?

You can do it with YouTube premium

Or use whatever YouTube-dl is called now.

yt-dlp

I feel this comment in my very core. I have an unusually hard time remembering “yt-dlp”. Glad I’m not the only one

I created a shell alias.

I just have to type yt and let shell history search find it for me every time.
