We need to move away from unit tests on sites with anti-ripping policies.
So no using sites like:
Youtube - I mean it no youtube their anti-rip policies broke our unit tests.
Vimeo - intermittent rip prevention not reliable for unit tests.
TikTok - MOST aggressive rip prevention
Instagram - High level of rip prevention
Pornhub - intermittent rip prevention not reliable for unit tests.
X - intermittent rip prevention not reliable for unit tests.
Any site that throttles you and you need auth or cookies to bypass rate limits or IP bans
Kick channel ingestion is currently broken in yt-dlp
Twitch is a giant churning mass of deleted videos and banned accounts.
Video also needs to have open license, site needs to provide metadata from a player that is supported by yt-dlp because we don't want to end up like youtube-dl was a few years back ripping a Taylor Swift video in their unit tests. No direct links to a random .mp4 file. We need a youtube-like site that doesn't rip throttle.

Like I say in the commit comment, you could use unit test integrated mocking system to mock yt-dlp module.
Like you already do with request-mock, instead of testing yt-dlp you just send the expected result when a yt-dlp function is call
