what brings you to the conclusion that the youtube-dl
project is dead or
abandoned?
The homepage at https://youtube-dl.org/ looks alive and up-to-date, the
last commit (which was a release as well) on GitHub
(https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) is "just" 18 days ago?
Look at the activity page of the repo owner [1].
During the inactivity period, youtube, as always, made changes that
interfered with youtube-dl operation [2].
During that time, and to provide updates for that issue, youtube-dl
was forked as yt-dlp, see [2].
