You might also appreciate mpv with its '--ytdl' option (enables the youtube-dl library). This enables you to directly stream YouTube (or any other YTDL-supported source) audio or video, rather than downloading.
mps-youtube (mpsyt) is another streaming tool, which gives the option to interactivley request, search (by title, description, genre, or channel) YouTube (only, this time) content, and create, save, and recall local playlists. A great way to explore topics or speakers, or music. No ads :-)
youtube-dl,mpv, and mps-youtube have been transformative.
