They are voting against their own interests, that’s for sure.

Not what your original comment said. And completely disingenuous too, since the Roku streaming box is one of the most popular ones

Yt-dlp takes urls as an input, not libraries. It can rip from SoundCloud, Bandcamp, etc. Often places where small artists are uploading in the highest quality.

Yt-dlp usually rips the best quality possible from the source. Going to a private tracker won’t magically make quality better than where the artist posted their music. Or do you think yt-dlp only works on YouTube? (You would be wrong about that as well)
