Describe the bug
Well, from what I understood:
He said there was a problem, with too many attempts from the same app (YouTube).
It also mentioned something about JavaScript, and I asked an AI, but that didn't work either.
To Reproduce
- I went to YouTube
- I looked for the song, which in my case was: Otro atardecer by Bad Bunny ft. The Marías
- Use seal as I usually do
- It took too long and poof, there it was, the mistake
- I tried to see if another song would fix it, but it didn't.

Additional context
I wanted to use the app just to download a song I like for my ringtone, and I was disappointed to find it wasn't working. I use Seal very often and it's my go-to app :(
