YouTube changes it's code fast. 
This renders programs that are free and open source working with
YouTube obsolete very fast unless they update too. 
Such is the case with smtube, youtube-dl in the official Debian 10
stable repositories. They are completely useless for youtube. 
Should Debian update broken packages or remove packages that rely on
proprietary services?
