The sense of entitlement here is absolutely unbelievable.

I apologize if anyone is put off by this but I want to make sure that I perfectly clear:
Developers and maintainers of open-source software DON'T OWE YOU A GOD-DAMNED THING.
You're likely to get flagged and certainly aren't helping your 'side' of the argument.
That said, you seem offended that someone might point out that an OSS product lacked timely updates. I don't understand your position, would you mind expanding on it?
>The value of youtube-dl wasn't the software. It was the community. It was the ability to respond, within hours, to a change made on any given site. I.e. youtube-dl stopped working? No problem, file an issue, wait a day, solved.
I don't think you need to preach to HN the value open-source maintainers provide. I think it's fair to assume most people on HN understand this.
