Youtube-dl? I mean I get your argument but op isn’t wrong. YouTube is reallly easy to rip content from.

  And the point of that argument is that youtube-dl only works because Google doesn't care, and the need to patch it regularly is only caused by the incidental changes in the service. When Google starts caring for some reason, it'll be a difficult battle.

      I have to update every time I use it.

      I've had to update several times in the last couple years due to some YT links not working. Updating always helps.

  it could be easy to rip, but exact word "rip" is indicating that you are going against service provider's SLA. Meanwhile GitHub is providing tools (git) to get, share content which fits in their SLA.
