Google has killed Discord's best music bot

That would be awful. Youtube-dl feels like Slsk to me. As long as its under-the-radar enough, the big dogs will let it live. That it's a CLI tool is enough to deter most users. If somebody creates a GUI app for it however, I imagine it would be snuffed out quickly.

youtube-dl already has a gui app.

I wasn't aware of that. I know about NewPipe which is almost certainly using the API. But not a desktop app.

NewPipe isn't using YouTube-DL. There's a GUI for desktop platforms, and DVD on Android. They know about it plenty. It's still not going anywhere until and unless they add DRM to YouTube. Which I could see happening in a few years.
