yt-dlp is an old fork, and very good. It's insanely fast.

isn't yt-dlp the one to use anyway? I heard that youtube-dl is deprecated and dlp is the way to go.

I believe youtube-dl are just slower at accepting merges. For example yt-dlp were the first to mitigate youtube's speed throttling and idk if the base project has it even now. It's still functional but may be slower.

There's actually multiple forks, and that one's been around for awhile. I actually prefer the version you link, it's been more stable for me.

I didn't mean to say it's a new fork, but that the fork already exists. Maybe didn't form my sentence correctly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
