I am getting the following error after upgrading yt-dlp

ERROR: [Piracy] This website is no longer supported since it has been determined to be primarily used for piracy. DO NOT open issues for it

Does anyone know any forks that still works.

The most likely explanation is that their previous implementation broke due to a website change, and they didn't want to bother with fixing it. People began opening issues for them to fix it, but now it looks like they're aiding people explicitly asking for piracy, so they can't win (and also I'm willing to bet it fucking sucked trying to support that particular website)
