I was in your position two years ago, I was super scared when building… and it was totally fine, fun, and interesting! Besides planning everything via PCPartPicker, I would recommend getting a big-ish case if you can fit it, which makes everything a bit easier for the beginner.
Tell us more, please. Do you access it via web browser and in a PC? I was using Hydra for Reddit in my phone, but they recently removed the access point to see content when not logged in

I’ll tell you what I use, appreciate that it doesn’t cover your needs (I was more focused on avoiding unskippable ads) and it’s a bit fiddly but it might provide a good starting point.
I also have a RPi 4 8Gb that runs a self-hosted Plex (Jellyfin would work even better arguably). “Playlists” are different Plex libraries.
For subscriptions, or channels where I want every vid, I have a crontab that wakes up once a week, downloads latest vids via yt-dlp, and puts them in the relevant Plex library.
For Discovery or ad-hoc vids, I rely on “real” youtube in my PC, and when I find something I want to watch I just manually share the link with a script in the Pi that will pull it via yt-dlp and put it in yet another “adhoc videos” Plex Library.
It works great for my purposes. A few caveats: There is the usual arms race between yt-dlp and The Formerly Not-Evil Company, so you need to keep updating yt-dlp every week or so. Also, the vids I like are transient, so I delete them after a month or so, but you can choose to archive them differently.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you want more details, I can happily yap about it for hours :D
URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNMENT: Bit hot innit?
Checkmate
Stay indoors, and don’t forget to loudly exclaim “I’m in!” every few minutes
It could be a “remember what you’re fighting for” meme and it’s russians trying to complete a kitchen set
Like, a knife?
The key is not having friends
“We can’t call it THAT! What about… slipper? It kinda looks like one too!”
Brick Top vibes
Government responded: “It’s ‘Winner takes all’, not ‘Winner takes most things’ “
His mom’s very proud of him, I’m sure
