I think that is a pretty normal OSS situation though; there's a fairly small overlap between who care enough to play in the arms race for Tiktok videos and people who want to spend their time updating youtube-dl. Other sites were regularly updated, so it's just down to what individual maintainers have time and inclination for. Tiktok are pretty active in that arms race, I can only suppose most maintainers feel it's not worth a constant battle for Tiktok content.

There is no "arms race", because the maintainers made no commits to the tiktok extractor for the past 8 months AFAIK.

And twitch, a fairly important site, was similarly broken for three months due to maintainers' inactivity: https://web.archive.org/web/20201002044125/https://github.co...
