yt-dlp's jsinterp.py

https://jxself.org/compiling-the-trap.shtml

I've got subleq+eforth (https://github.com/howerj/muxleq) running in JS which is dead simple to do. No input but I could output ASCII mapping values to an array.

So, yes. yt-dlp runs propietary Youtube JS code defying the original purpose.

Why youtube does not use tls fingerprint to block ytdlp?

[pocksuppet]

possibly because yt-dlp updates rapidly and would simply switch to the correct fingerprint, but Google-approved clients use many different and uncontrollable fingerprints (as they use OS TLS facilities for example).

Hopefully, an iota of decency.
