You're actually proving *my* point here: the original youtube-dl has 
seen *three* commits since the middle of the summer, and two of them 
were documentation. The fork yt-dlp has seen 29 commits only in the last 
three days, and two actual releases since the middle of december - looks 
much more active to me, especially when you remember how active the 
original youtube-dl used to be, with sometimes more than one release per 
day.

Cheers
