I'm really grateful for this tool: both to the creator, and those that keep making sure it works. I have a swath of my life tied up in a couple of youtube playlists, and every now and then videos disappear (presumably due to DMCA-requests) -- and it's always annoying. With youtube-dl, I can simply download my lists, and then I can be confident that whatever obscure (or not) tune or cover version I found some years ago, will be in my archives (I've yet to automate this -- but my goal isn't really to archive all the things -- I generally add few songs at a time).

Anyway, if you didn't write this tool (and update it) -- I'd have to do it myself. And I'd rather not do anything myself ;-)
