> Seems to have been originally spawned from this discussion: "Youtube-dl is dying?" https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/26462 https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/26462 citing many PRs are not getting merged. As someone who has tried to contribute to YouTube-dl in the past, the absolute disinterest I received and complete lack of follow up on simple bug-fixes caused me to completely dismiss YouTube-dl as a FOSS project worthy of my time. And I say that as someone who sends PRs to projects I’ve visited once, over tiny things like typos or lack of installation/build instructions in the readme. Some of my PRs received a crazy all-or-nothing treatment, asking me to fix huge, long-standing bugs nobody had fixed for years, instead of accepting a 2-line diff which did a provider-specific workaround which solved a real bug, but seemingly not in the “right” way. Completely toxic and hostile. That someone has started a community-fork with a more welcoming and pragmatic approach does not surprise me in the least.
