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.

There is no way to pay google to get features like these or like what yt-dlp offers. If there was I would have gladly paid.

Riight. I subscribed once, seeing they offered a download option. And it downloaded like a 720p terrible quality video... I unsubscribed.
