Only recently discovered yt-dlp, despite its popularity. However I was wondering if I were to use this, should it be used behind a VPN when downloading videos off public websites?

Youtube nowadays has started requiring sign in to view the content. However the only affected IPs are of Invidious instances.
That’s not true, I just got a “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” message on the official fucking YouTube website using Firefox behind Mullvad VPN. It’s also very common to see this on Piped instances. The invidious team seems to have developed a fix though: https://github.com/iv-org/youtube-trusted-session-generator
Sounds like the beginning of the end… I should start archiving the channels I like
