Make your own URL shortener. e.g. for the owner of example.com links can be shortened like so:
amazon.com/some/long/URL?foo=bar&baz&lots_of_text_lots_of_text_lots_of_text
to
example.com/abcd2
Includes statistics.
Impressively simple and easy to use. I chose it because it has one single very small script.

https://youtube-dl.org/
A commandline downloader for YouTube videos and playlists (and not comments). Also works for a surprising number of other websites.
It has no competition, so I guess I can say that it'll have to do, but it really is good.
See also:
youtube-comment-scraper for comments.

Aliens come to ruin an already-ruined earth.. which also already has aliens.
Quite an excellent game.

I use this for video creating, and streaming on YouTube and Twitch.
Requires a hell of a lot of fiddling, and is missing some incredibly basic things.
Replaces Open Broadcaster Software.

Since every desktop environment needs one, for whatever reason, this is a terminal emulator for LXQt, which comes with Lubuntu.
It works fine.

On-device buttons, optical zoom, native H.264 hardware.
Garbage; do not buy this overpriced toy. It's only "good" because it comes with a stand, but newer webcams are coming out with the threading for mounting to a simple $20 stand.

A really shitty attempt at thieving from the La Femme Nikita - (1990 movie) character and universe.
