We already have --min-views, which is great for selectively downloading the best videos of a Youtube channel.

We also have "like_count" and "average_rating" available for all Youtube videos. I think it'd be great if we could support --min-like-count and --min-average-rating, which will do an even better job when combined with --min-views in selecting the best videos of a channel.

For instance, when a video has a view_count > 1M, it's usually a great video, and typically has like_count > 20k and average_rating > 4.8. However, there are also videos with a clickbait thumbnail / clickbait title, or trashy videos like "People Who Just Don't Give A F#ck Funny Compilation #26", which also meet the 1M view_count criteria, but won't meet like_count > 20k or average_rating > 4.8. These are the videos I want to filter out.
