Ability to list all extractors (--list-extractor), excluding porn sites

[bubbleguuum]

It would be useful to be able to list all extractors but without any porn site.
Something like --list-extractor-no-porn

Sometimes you need to make a list of sites supported by youtube-dl but you do not want porn sites to be listed.

Implementing this would require a per extractor flag that tells if it is a porn site or not.

Thank you for the report. I do not think that we should start a classification of whether a site is pornographic or not. Instead, I do think it may be useful to limit the list of extractors depending on the age of the user.

In youtube-dl 2015.01.07.1 and newer, --list-extractors respects the --age-limit option. Use youtube-dl --list-extractors --age-limit 0 to only show extractors that are generally suitable for everyone (or youtube-dl --list-extractors --age-limit 17 if you're okay with sites whose contents regularly contain swear words, etc.).

Please bear in mind that this only means that a majority of content on these sites is suitable for the given age. For example, YouTube does serve R-rated videos, but is included no matter the given age limit.

See our FAQ if you need help updating.

Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for.
