Greetings,
This port hasn't been updated since 2021. Hence the software doesn't even work anymore. Can we have an update please?

We don't use an upstream binary anyway; we always build our own from source.
It's not our job to ascertain which random commit of a project might be stable enough to ship to users; it's the developers' job to do that. The ticket tracking that is https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31585.
If the latest version of youtube-dl (which is in MacPorts) doesn't work, consider using the yt-dlp fork (which is in MacPorts) which last time I checked did work.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Ok fixing my self in here, I've checked their repo, and I have absolutely no idea why they stopped making releases despite that commits are happening everyday. Maybe it's time to ditch the binary and just compile the latest version..? Because final build from 2021 doesn't work anymore.
