Well, should we be listing the related Apps here?

There are ~40 hits for "youtube-dl" in Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=youtube-dl&c=apps

But I agree that people might have mixed feelings on pointing to the ones that work better.

I made another search, through DuckDuckGo, and got a hit that's not among those ~40 and looks good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviddapp.o...

Am I hurting them by linking, or any of you for adding feedback?

Problem is, just because something is "in the Play Store" doesn't mean it is harmless. It could, for example, contain trackers. So, yes, we should discuss and link them.
