I'm a bit surprised such a venerable piece of software has been seemingly-abandoned so abruptly. I'm also upset that I had missed the memo on this until now... guess I need to expand my news net a bit. What was the reasoning/motivation behind the fork? I see the yt-dl subreddit recommending yt-dlp as you have here, but not explanation other than the throttling being experienced and described here.
