Exactly. I could never maintain yt-dlp. Must be exhausting.

		I think being in a pitched battle with YT is kind of fun, if you enjoy that sort of challenge, and winning to boot. I mean YT has perfect knowledge of its adversary's moves and a huge staff and they're still losing. It must at least be satisfying. Also its an important job.
