youtube-dl basically became unusuable for a while now. It gets only tens of KB/s on my 1gbps connection. yt-dlp is a more maintained alternative, I think. It seems to get great speeds the last time I checked.

ytdl is one of its dependencies

You clearly didn't even skim the readme to see what this does

To be fair, the readme does not mention ytdl.

From the HN guidelines:

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".

There's a difference between not reading an entire article or missing reading a paragraph versus not even clicking the link or skimming a couple screenshots to figure out what you're commenting on.
