My guess would be because you're giving people a way to rip off YouTube content but more specifically because you do so in the video at approx 2:05. They're not massive fans of youtube-dl either which wont help, looks like you're using that to rip the vids under the hood.
Best guess, no actual clue.
I built it for a local learning organization that streams their lectures on YouTube. They approached me to help them get their content over to podcast. The tool did the job and eliminated many hours of tedious manual work
How often does this happen in practice and how does it happen? It's not like I google for a podcast each time I want to listen to the new episode and might get sucked into a fake search results with different ads. I add a feed to my podcast app and never touch it again (and I'm adding from a curated podcast catalogue, read: official podcasts only). Maybe if you were trolling for an ad-free feed you might find something but I've never seen what you are describing in the wild.
I have yet to find a working paid service that does it
This time, I am not so sure. I'm gonna leave the pitchfork at home. I think YouTube might be getting it right more than they used to.
Do let us know if Github ever has a problem with your project, and next time don't be so obtuse.
"Actions should not be used for any activity unrelated to the
production, testing, deployment, or publication of the software
project associated with the repository where GitHub Actions are
used."Is your passion to make things or burn down corporations on technicalities? If it's really the latter, I'd suggest law school. Either way, get after it!
I do enjoy using my creativity to build things
I literally laughed at this. How is he supposed to talk to a real person at Youtube? Professional Youtube people who get millions of views have to rant and rave and get something trending on Twitter before a human will look at their case.
GamersNexus got one of their videos age-restricted, mailed with people high up in the YouTube Partner Program tree, and was not able to get the video fixed until some viewers who work at Google were aware of it and did manual internal escalation [0]
Here's my guess: It's somewhat common knowledge that it's almost impossible to get real human intervention when YouTube's or Google's systems sanction someone.
So people are moving on to the next question, "Okay, so what can I do in this situation?"
How would hosting the python script elsewhere help?
So now you can watch the video :) https://youtu.be/HBk-0wRGqHY
Thank you all for the tips
As for smaller creators, good luck getting YouTube to change its ways. They will never change and it will only get much worse.
"If you don't want your video to be found…"
A case study example is Jupiter Broadcasting. They run their own instance of Peer Tube. They monetize their content through premium members and ads that they sell and manage themselves, and most of their audience listens to audio through RSS feed, but they want to make video available for the few who want it. They just need a place where they aren't constantly getting dings for things. They don't care that much about monetization or discovery.
A friend of mine got nailed for a bogus copyright claim, but she was way too small to get Youtube's attention. She uses Rumble now, and is optimistic about monetization as Rumble seems to be very welcoming and helpful to creators, including path to monetization. There's a lot of right wing stuff on there, but it's not just a cesspool dumping ground for stuff that's too heterodox for youtube (although there certainly is some of that there if you look for it). There's quite a bit of legitimately interesting content on there that has nothing to do with politics (I mostly watch tech stuff and music stuff), most of which (I imagine) could be on Youtube without issue, but as a creator you don't have to live in fear so many people publish there instead. You don't get near the reach of youtube, but I've been considering maintaining a mirror there of my youtube channel just in case I get the ire of the robot someday for something. I try to be very careful of copyright, but it's walking on egg shells. Eventually you'll break one even though you're trying not to.
I realized now that I did not include any links to the project
Here's the github link:
Edit: I accept the downvotes on this, but its honestly how I feel most times when dealing with tech companies, ISPs, my bank, and so on. They win by the sheer brute force of their apathy.
This one isn't even interesting.

Apparently some users disagree.
