Youtube-dlc – Download videos from YouTube or other video platforms

Seems like this is derived from a dissatisfaction with maintenance, but all I'm seeing is that they're maintaining things just fine. Yes, there are a lot of open PRs, but there are also quite a few merged, reviewed, and closed PRs. While I do support forks in the spirit of FOSS, I disagree that YT-dl is being poorly maintained and find that it continues to work well for my needs.

To the person who started the fork, what happened when you inquired about the apparent problem via email?

I wrote an email to all three core maintainers (one of them even twice) and to some of the inactive maintainers. There was no reply at all. However one reacted on github where I addressed the maintaining issues but basically just ignored it and all those who had similar concerns.

Well I am not the only one being frustrated about how things go. Especially the lack of communication. It's basically non-existent. At least the PRs that are merged are mostly either adult related or youtube. If your site is not even known to the maintainer - good luck. That will never be merged tho it may be one of the biggest sites in asia or so.
