WARNING: parsing .netrc: bad follower token '?????' (/home/user/.netrc, line 1)

.netrc is parsed by Python instead of youtube-dl. There's a patch at python/cpython#127 fixing this but seems it's stalled.

I'm also affected by this.

For posterity, #14177 was a dupe I found before this issue, and wasn't properly linked.
