Is there something that YT can detect to disallow it entirely?

I got a bit frustrated with 4K VD for some sreason and decided  
to stick with youtube-dl.  ytd also allows downloading any  
video file that has a direct link.  It works on Rumble and  
Vimeo videos too.

Thx for that.  I only noticed the slowdown within a week or  
two.
