alt Hacker News> 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.
