> yt-dlp arms race

I don't know anything about yt-dlp.

It would probably help people who want to go to a concert and have a chance to beat the scalpers cornering the market on an event in 30 seconds hitting the marketplace services with 20,000 requests.

I can try to see if can bypass yt-dlp. But that is always a cat and mouse game.

To clarify - yt-dlp is a command line tool for downloading youtube videos, but it's in a constant arms race with the youtube website because they are constantly changing things in a way that blocks yt-dlp.

I wouldn't call it an arms race. I don't update my client that often and I rarely have problems downloading any video with it.
