Unfortunately, they do not have anything like a support mailing list, 
and when it gets to the stage that too many login accounts are required, 
imposing security risks by requiring storage of passwords, because there 
are too many, to remember, due to the lack of support mailing lists, 
then, software becomes effectively unsupported.

It is unfortunate - yt-dlp seemed to work, most of the time - now, it 
simply seems to be like that cloud strike malware, that, through an 
update, revived the Microsoft ultimate security feature - taking all 
systems down with the BSOD feature; this time, cloudstrike struck, with 
the BSOD v2 security feature, taking down global infrastructure, for 
security purposes. And so, yt-dlp. similarly imposed a defective update, 
and blocks communications about it.
