Youtube has to realize that a significant amount of content that people watch on its site is reaction, commentary, compilations, and other recycled content.

I think its for this reason that they don't go after these projects very aggressively.

It's just arbitrary. There's prob even a low-sev ticket somewhere in Youtube's issue tracker to take out youtube-dl. They can do it at any time.

That they haven't done it (make youtube-dl's life harder) yet just means they might do it tomorrow, not that they don't care.
