The phrase refers to the process of acquiring video clips, typically brief in duration, from the YouTube Shorts platform using a specific method or tool often associated with the identifier “yts1.” This usually involves utilizing third-party software or online services designed to save these videos onto a local device, allowing for offline viewing or further editing.
The ability to save these short-form videos offers several advantages. It allows for content consumption without reliance on a continuous internet connection, which can be beneficial in areas with limited or expensive data access. Furthermore, it can facilitate the archiving of desired content for personal use, educational purposes, or creative projects. Previously, directly saving content from the platform was not a feature, leading to the development of external solutions.
