      Looks to me it is just MS playing hard to get with Google.

          Yes, the article is not very good. Main players here are google and gihub. My experience with media is that they often don’t publish everything, sometimes because of incompetence sometimes for sponsor money. So we have to use our heads a bit.

          Not even mentioning google, not even.asking google what they think of youtube-dl, not even asking MS to comment. Give us at least a question and ‘they said no comment’.

          Not really good reporting and we got used to that.

    They should just move it to a non-Western jurisdiction.

      Yes, that would be for the best.

      Similar to how certain VPN/Mail clients/journalists (due to leaks) and others are in non-western areas.

      I am forgetting some…

      yt-dlp is an old fork, and very good. It’s insanely fast.

        isn’t yt-dlp the one to use anyway? I heard that youtube-dl is deprecated and dlp is the way to go.

          I believe youtube-dl are just slower at accepting merges. For example yt-dlp were the first to mitigate youtube’s speed throttling and idk if the base project has it even now. It’s still functional but may be slower.

      There’s actually multiple forks, and that one’s been around for awhile. I actually prefer the version you link, it’s been more stable for me.

        I didn’t mean to say it’s a new fork, but that the fork already exists. Maybe didn’t form my sentence correctly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
