Description

Hey folks,
Since YouTube is a massive and constantly updating platform, ImprovedTube often becomes outdated and requires frequent maintenance.

As a solution to YouTube’s ever-changing algorithm and integration incompatibilities, I suggest turning youtube.js into an updatable database structure.
This way, it can stay synchronized with YouTube’s internal changes and prevent code mismatches over time.

Research direction

The request names youtube.js but does not identify specific files, tests, or entry points beyond that integration. Start by locating youtube.js and reviewing how its current YouTube integration is maintained; the work is complete when a defined, updateable database structure can stay synchronized with YouTube changes and prevent integration mismatches.
