The YouTube-DL website notably does not come up in those search results, it's their GitHub page that does. The website does appear in the sidebar, because it pulls the sidebar data from Wikipedia, and YouTube-DL's Wikipedia page does come up.

Note that if you do a google search (https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube-dl) their website is the first result.

Both the website and the GitHub are top two results at my end, in India.

Their main website is not coming up here (sweden). Only the github and some random fringe-sites, obvious scams and readthedocs.

Interesting, mine are github, videohelp.com, and then ottverse. I imagine that adds credence to the theory that it's because of Bing's index removing them - maybe they use a different index in India?

Not anymore. I'm also using it in India, the original website is no longer listed. Top result is the repo

Still same here. It even has a dedicated snippet.
