Can somebody explain to me why we aren't just using Youtube-dl/FFMpeg as a backend instead of using the extractor we currently have? Why do we have to keep maintaining a "newpipe extractor" when we can just use youtube-dl/ffmpeg directly and make Newpipe the best Android frontend for those 2 applications?
