yt-dlp was created in October 2020, Soulseek in April 2001, torrents in Juli 2001. Your "ol' reliable" was created 5 years ago, 19 years younger than its competition. Youtube itself was founded in 2005.

I'm not sure you know what "ol' reliable" means ;)

yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, which was released in 2006.

And still younger than the other 2, invalidating the initial point of the meme all the same.

'you people'? A fine starter to any topic.

Riiight. It's just a shit joke. That would explain why I forgot to laugh.

I counted the original youtube-dl as the same for the sake of the meme; but you aren't wrong.
