Description

The readme states

DO NOT UPDATE using -U ! instead download binaries again or when installed with pip use a described above when installing. I will add some memorable short links to the binaries so you can download them easier.

So what about removing the -U flag completely? Or change to print the update information.

If you want this done I can make a PR this.

As the maintainer of the Debian package of youtube-dl, I already patch the -U option in my tree (see https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-youtube-dl/blob/master/debian/patches/disable-autoupdate-mechanism.patch), since the preferred way of updating packages is via the package management tools.

Feel free to grab that or to improve upon it.
