Description

For those of us that use youtube-dl to download from sites that don't have extractors (and also use the --download-archive), we frequently hit situations were "generic master" or similar is archived. This makes recurring site or even different site downloads cumbersome because we frequently will have to edit the archive file to remove pseudo duplicates.

Personally, I see this as a default built-in ignore since ideally, only unique names should be added to the archive. Problematic archived generic names I've encountered:

generic default
generic master
generic init
generic manifest

Thank you for your consideration!
