There's already a fork
yt-dlp is an old fork, and very good. It's insanely fast.
isn't yt-dlp the one to use anyway? I heard that youtube-dl is deprecated and dlp is the way to go.
I believe youtube-dl are just slower at accepting merges. For example yt-dlp were the first to mitigate youtube's speed throttling and idk if the base project has it even now. It's still functional but may be slower.
