I kind of wish people would stop making yt-dlp more accessible and increasing Google's desire to shut it down.

I'd say it's less people's fault and more Google's for driving people to want something like it.

Yes, people prefer to get stuff for free rather than paying for it. That's not a very interesting insight.

I deal with a lot of archival and forensics and tools like yt-dlp are invaluable, even outside of YouTube.

There are important use cases for these tools outside of "free stuff".
