Could you build this?
No YouTube actively blocks automated scraping and downloading, requiring continuous cat-and-mouse maintenance of rotating proxies, signature decoders (e.g. yt-dlp upkeep), and circumvention techniques that vibe coding cannot maintain.
What it would actually take: Architecture requires a worker fleet running patched yt-dlp or custom stream extraction engines backed by residential proxy pools and FFmpeg for transcoding audio/video streams. The hard part is constantly reverse-engineering YouTube's changing throttling algorithms, bot detection (Player JS challenge solves, PO tokens), and avoiding IP bans at scale.
