The same in yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/jsinterp...

Interesting to see the diffcheck between the two https://www.diffchecker.com/8EJGN27K

Is yt-dlp's implementation being better the reason why I have fewer throttling issues than with youtube-dl?

  • Maybe this isn't true anymore, but for a while they would hit different APIs. yt-dlp was using the Android YouTube API because it had no throttling.
