> i wonder how it would work out if a bot used youtube-dl to snarf audio tracks.
youtube-dl + ffmpeg was the "traditional" way of doing it, but it didn't scale very well. These days, the majority of bots use lavaplayer[0] based solutions like lavalink[1] to stream audio.
There's also YouTube IP bans to be concerned about. Most bots get around it by rotating through blocks of IPv6 addresses.
