Yeah, I&#x27;m not a big industry player but I&#x27;m not exactly enamored with this kind of thing. One question would be does Youtube-dl still provide compensation to the artists&#x2F;label&#x2F;publisher&#x2F;etc in the same format as a stream? If not, then it&#x27;s genuinely circumventing the (admittedly limited) tracking and compensation structure YouTube has set up. That...probably won&#x27;t work out very well in the long run.
