Downloading all of the Gordons

This post is a companion to a video about downloading all of Kitchen Nightmare's thumbnails (and turning them into a PDF?)

#download all thumbnails after 2022.01.01 (may not be always reliable)

yt-dlp --write-thumbnail --skip-download --dateafter 20220101 --output "[%(upload_date>%Y.%m.%d)s] %(title)s [%(view_count)s views] .%(ext)s"  https://www.youtube.com/@KitchenNightmares/videos

#same but with youtube cookies from firefox and only thumbnails from after 2025.01.01  

yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox --write-thumbnail --skip-download --dateafter 20250101 --output "[%(upload_date>%Y.%m.%d)s] %(title)s [%(view_count)s views] .%(ext)s"  https://www.youtube.com/@KitchenNightmares/videos

#download thumbnails from 2024.01.01 to 2025.01.01 
#(you have to hit ctrl+c to cancel once it gets outside of the 2024 range) 

yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox --write-thumbnail --skip-download --dateafter 20240101 --datebefore 20250101 --output "[%(upload_date>%Y.%m.%d)s] %(title)s [%(view_count)s views] .%(ext)s"  https://www.youtube.com/@KitchenNightmares/videos

#download thumbnails from 2023.01.01 to 2024.01.01 
(same here, it will just keep looping)

yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox --write-thumbnail --skip-download --dateafter 20230101 --datebefore 20240101 --output "[%(upload_date>%Y.%m.%d)s] %(title)s [%(view_count)s views] .%(ext)s"  https://www.youtube.com/@KitchenNightmares/videos
