They blocked everyones forks at the same time as the original.
What does "blocked" mean? Is your fork still "blocked"?

Sponsorblock can skip sponsors, self-promos, subscribe reminders, intro animation, and end credits. (crowd-sources the timestamps) https://sponsor.ajay.app/
Alas not really watching a video on a browser.

> Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip, I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content; otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund. In my experience, it's the same with ads everywhere else. It (usually) starts out not being overly obnoxious, with just a "this video is sponsored by [garbage tier mobile game/earphones/vpn/whatever] more about them…
Do you have YouTube premium? If not consider at some point, someone has to give the channel revenue stream or the channel will die

I wouldn't be surprised if the drama surrounding the DMCA takedown issued on the main git repository scared away a lot of contributors. Here's some coverage from the EFF, in case you missed it: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/github-reinstates-yout...
Quite the opposite; number of contributions increased: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/graphs/contributors Just seems a case of the same what usually happens: main author loses interest, has other stuff to do, etc. and no one really takes up the slack.

I was recently looking for a library that did this and couldn't find anything nice. I was surprised but also slightly disappointed to see that yt-dlp has essentially rolled their own (cookies.py [1]). [1] https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/cookies....

Why not just throw some money at their patreon, or buy some merch? Fairly sure they'll get more of that anyway.
Personally I am done with indirect funding models where people burn my time and attention in hopes of getting me to waste enough money on something that surplus cash can be skimmed to pay for the original content. It's ridiculous. Direct payment or GTFO.
And I'm putting my money where my mouth is. My Patreon bill was $150 this month. And that's not counting direct payments to creators.

Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip, I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content; otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund. They’re not enough from YouTube itself unless you’re in the top percentile. Also what sponsored content are people downloading versus just streaming live? I don’t get the use case.
I pay for YouTube premium but still see them. That’s not OK, especially when the creators make 10x more money off YouTube Premium users than from ad-based users. YouTube needs to make a way for creators to label the sponsor sections and it skips it for Premium users. As for why downloading, I download any/every video I find useful so I don’t have to go back to YouTube to watch it later. Everything from blender tutori…
I have to imagine it wouldn't be long before some clever sponsor offers extra money not to mark their sections...

Off the top of my head Alex Jones comes to mind as both, but if we don’t agree on him I doubt we’ll agree on any part of this topic.
Probably not. I'm not for blacklisting people based on their ideals and sanctioned topics. I think you should talk people you disagree with, who wants an echo chamber? Fight misinformation with more information, not censorship. The laptop and lab leak censorship fiasco should have been an awakening to that.
Thank you for your suggestion about what I should do, but I’ll politely decline your request that I go out of my way to consume media made by people I dislike in order to reverse an arbitrary judgment of being in an “echo chamber” from a stranger.
I’m happy stating my opinion and not being prescriptive. I hope you enjoy whatever media you choose to consume.
Im going to claim original idea that all these other downloders built off ~2006 still get k's of downloads a day even though its been 15yrs since the last update https://sourceforge.net/projects/gvdownloader/files/
