I really dislike how github mirrors pop up higher than original repos in search results.
@a1batross the mirrors usually have links to the original anyway. What's one more click?
@lucifargundam because then you have to find where is the link.

@a1batross in all my experiences, the link to the original is at the top... But I suppose everyone could have a different experience on the same platform. My apologies for my dense inability to reflect on that.
@a1batross in the case of youtube-dl , sometimes one can worry that's all you have left. Either way, it's good to have options- but I agree that it would be more convenient to have the primary source be first in list of results.
Your point is valid though but imho it's better to get straight to the original repository rather than unofficial and untrusted mirror.
