<story><title>A Youtube video downloader written in Go</title><url>https://github.com/kkdai/youtube</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>oefrha</author><text>As others have pointed out, this is very misleadingly editorialized due to ytdl’s vastly expanded scope. The submission title should be changed to the actual title, “Download Youtube Video in Golang”. (Edit: the title was something like &amp;quot;youtube-dl in golang, actively maintained&amp;quot; when the comment was posted.)&lt;p&gt;Btw, I should point out there&amp;#x27;s no shortage of web video downloader projects that support YouTube as well as different, often reduced (compared to ytdl) collections of sites, with different focuses and ergonomics. For instance, two projects I&amp;#x27;ve used&amp;#x2F;contributed to, both active, YouTube-supporting, and with a focus on Chinese sites:&lt;p&gt;- &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;soimort&amp;#x2F;you-get&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;soimort&amp;#x2F;you-get&lt;/a&gt; (Python, 8 years old, 35.8k stars)&lt;p&gt;- &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;iawia002&amp;#x2F;annie&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;iawia002&amp;#x2F;annie&lt;/a&gt; (Golang, 2-3 years old, 12.7k stars)&lt;p&gt;(Not trying to diminish the project posted; what I&amp;#x27;m saying is you can find quite a few actively maintained projects with reduced scope if you look around.)</text></comment>
