You can use yt-dlp to download it and play it in whatever movie player you want that supports variable speeds, unless and until YouTube cracks down on downloading.
I use jdownloader2. I think it uses yt-dl on the backend though? Like the original yt-dl. I’m not sure.
I was curious so I downloaded the Mac version of yt-dlp (as I am on Mac), couldn’t get it to run. And I’m comfortable with the command line.
YouTube kinda is cracking down on downloading though. If a video is marked as adult (you need to sign in to view it), it can’t be downloaded. A lot of “official videos” (like trailers from the studio) can’t be downloaded. Subtitles can’t be downloaded. That’s in jd2. Not sure about yt-dlp.

You’re probably thinking of youtube-dl. I’d guess that it most-likely used that at one point, but probably switched to yt-dlp when YouTube started throttling single-stream downloads.
Nice, but that doesn’t work on my machine as of yet.
It’s weird that the default archive utility we (Mac users) all use (The Unarchiver) can’t do .7z files, but if they’re downloaded through jdownloader2, they unzip just fine. The actual 7-Zip application is only available as a command line interface on Mac, whereas on Windows, as you probably know, it’s more like a file manager.
One of these days I’ll get yt-dlp working on my Mac. Even being in the same folder as it, typing yt-dlp in the terminal doesn’t open it. That’s how it worked in DOS/Windows (or you had it in a folder you declared in PATH= in Autoexec.bat, back in the day), but Mac/UNIX terminal is something I have very little experience in. Comfortable with it, but inexperienced. So I suppose I have some reading to do. Especially if the subs work as well as you say.

But i dl with subtitles every time ‘–write-auto-subs’ or ‘–write-subs en’ or ‘all’, also got ‘–convert-subs srt’ yt-dlp the goat
