Am I the only one who uses youtube-dl for downloading silly mp4s from Twitter and Reddit, and all the other aggregators? I mean, sure: some Youtube videos are copyrighted, and youtube-dl was originally made to download Youtube videos. But despite the project name, it's evolved beyond just that. Don't kill the whole damn project when the legal issues are limited only to certain backends to begin with.
