Before you blame Google, think that the main users of yt-dlp could be:
1) multi-billion AI companies which download large amount of videos without permission and without paying
2) Youtube competitors/replacements in countries where Youtube is blocked, which copy the videos without permission and payment
I wish though that Youtube would adjust their policy to block this type of users and let ordinary people download videos.

- codedokode 11mo agoThey are distinguished by volume. No ordinary user downloads millions of videos.

- codedokode 11mo agoSorry I forgot that the economy got so good that every "ordinary user" can afford a GPU farm now.
