-      🧐 **Guidelines:**
-
-      - Search through [existing issues](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode/issues?q=is%3Aissue) first to ensure that this bug has not been reported before.
-      - Write a descriptive title for your issue. Avoid generic or vague titles such as "Something's not working" or "A couple of problems".
-      - Keep your issue focused on one single problem. If you have multiple bug reports, please create separate issues for each of them.
-      - Provide as much context as possible in the details section. Include screenshots, screen recordings, links, references, or anything else you may consider relevant.
-      - If you want to ask a question instead of reporting a bug, please use [discussions](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode/discussions/new) instead.
