“It never works with Facebook or Instagram and some more websites, even though lots of tutorials suggest this software. When, in rare cases, it does download the video, it often has a bad quality and a nasty QR code on it. As for Facebook, it doesn't matter if the video or the reel is public or private, it just won't download it, ever.”

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Content creators and users wanting to download videos from social platforms where native tools don't exist. No search volume given; the pain (Facebook/Instagram gaps, quality loss) suggests demand exists but prevalence is unknown.
Competition & the opening
yt-dlp, 4K Video Downloader, and platform-specific tools already address YouTube and some platforms; the gap is Facebook and Instagram coverage plus reliable quality preservation, where tutorials promise but tools fail.
What's hard to build
Facebook and Instagram actively block scrapers and change API/HTML signatures frequently; Instagram especially uses aggressive rate-limiting and requires reverse-engineering closed APIs. Feasibility unknown but the cat-and-mouse maintenance burden is real.
Why now
Social platforms aggressively patch downloaders and add watermarks; existing tools lag behind API changes.
