    I’d say supporting youtube is a much more defensible position, and more importantly it is more worth bothering to. yt hosts enormous amounts of stuff available there and only there, while a piracy site basically by definition only has media taken from somewhere else (though not necessarily easily or at all available anymore ofc). they certainly support many gray area websites, too.

    Edit: from the FAQ:

    Why is there a rule against websites “primarily used for piracy”?
    The short answer is that supporting piracy sites would in all likelihood result in the project being shut down. In the past, other similar projects have been shut down due to supporting piracy sites. The yt-dlp maintainers are of the position that supporting such sites is not worth the risk.
