Describe the solution you'd like

I believe that the “Download playlist” option, that's in the download slider, on its own is vague and not clear enough. Please consider changing it to “Download playlist/channel” instead to make it much clearer for normal users

Hey there, your suggested name is ambiguous. It can lead the user to think he can download videos in a playlist or the whole channel..

it's actually possible tho.. For example, https://www.youtube.com/@ringosheenaofficial/videos is also a valid playlist URL

This option absolutely needs a rework for a better UX. But a rename is not enough to solve all the confusion and the complexity of this feature
