Due to a ruling of the Hamburg Regional Court, access to this website(https://yt-dl.org/update) is blocked. I guess the author stop the program by law.

This works for me:
pip install --upgrade youtube_dl

remember change the default arg from "./youtube_dl" to "youtube-dl".

And you may encounter "Broken link" next, please refer to this thread to modify youtube-dl package accordingly: yt-dlp/yt-dlp#6247 (comment)
