Don't use pip directly like that.  If you want to install applications
from PyPI:

  sudo apt install pipx
  pipx ensurepath  # this will edit your shell config, e.g. ~/.bashrc
  # now open a new terminal or log out/in
  pipx install yt-dlp

See https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/ for further documentation.
