Ever since youtube-dl was removed from Github, it seems like they gave up on the project.

  youtube-dl works right now, so not sure if this is a fair thing to say. But you might have more insight than me. Maybe they realized that becoming a famous project is only a detriment to their mission

    Someone mailed the maintainer, and received a reply that he currently has "[..] no free time to spend on youtube-dl as I'm busy with work, ongoing renovation and other post-relocation stuff."

    Not sure if this is something that affects yt-dlp but youtube-dl takes something like 5 - 10 x as long as watching the video for me now.

    It works only as long as you don't care how long it takes to download a video. youtube-dl has had a problem with bandwidth throttling on Youtube for some time now. yt-dlp does not.
