Fix Crucial guide command leads into errors

Browse Source 
At university, colleagues and I tried this tool, but all of us got the error at this point:

  youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]

  youtube-dl -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best' URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toon9VARRIU

ERROR: You've asked youtube-dl to download the URL "URL". That doesn't make any sense. Simply remove the parameter in your command or configuration. Add -v to the command line to see what arguments and configuration youtube-dl got.

So, to avoid future devs into this error... we love the project and want to improve it!

By just removing the "URL" word.
