Surely google won't let this stand for long, right? As soon as it gets any kind of popularity google will intentionally break it.

  They've been trying to do it with Invidious and youtube-dl already.

    Right. And whenever I try to use youtube-dl, historically there's been a 25%+ chance that it's broken at that point in time. Either I have to update it, or download it from somewhere else or whatever. I think last time I had to go outside of the debian repo to get a binary or something.

        To be clear. I got it to work 100% of the times. What I meant was that 25% of those it required some digging around for the latest whatever-the-issue-was on my part, and 75% of those it just worked.
