Youtube-dl no longer in github. Github didn't try to fight this either, moral police and all... If you have software that you like, archive it now!!!

Having a local or source repo is important.

A lot of people writing software now look at themselves as some arbiter of morality and truth.

A great example of this is Firefox.. Their recent manifesto reads something essentially like; "yeh we realize it's open source software, but we believe the purpose of our software is equally if not more important than the quality of code".

This leads to things like, well if you voted for Trump or are a Republican you're a Nazi and you shouldn't be able to use our software.

It's the same issue like guns. We know what's best for you, it's for your own good we are keeping you from these things, you're a bigot.
