- jokoon 5y agoIt's always a game of cat and mouse, but generally, someone good enough can always quickly figure it out, and it becomes costly for reddit to redeploy new ways to prevent it. The goal of reddit being to limit it, although I'm not sure they can really make accurate enough stats to know how many people download videos with YDL. The save vid bot is much more visible, which is the reason they reacted I guess.
