Thanks a lot -- one problem I am having when I try to download the 9999 version, I get missing keyword how to fix?

And I appreciate all the work you do on this package, I use it all the time.

This is "probably" this recent issue[1] which barely got fixed a few
hours ago, I "imagine" upstream will do a new release soon'ish and if
I'm around then I'll add it to ::gentoo as soon as possible.

If don't want to wait, you can try to use yt-dlp-9999 for now (if use
that, remember to either update it regularly or revert back to releases
after the next one is out).
