Dear Maintainer,

I don't know if you care about this, but an error message asks to do a "yt-dlp 
-U"

please report this issue on  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , 
filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest 
version using  yt-dlp -U

I wouldn't say that I wouldn't care, but yes my goal is to greatly limit patches added to yt-dlp. That being said, I don't think it's even needed here at all.

When you run `yt-dlp -U` it checks online if you're running the current version and will print out the latest version online and your local version. If you install via pip/package manager, it detects this and tells you to upgrade using those methods:

Latest version: 2022.07.18, Current version: 2022.07.17
ERROR: It looks like you installed yt-dlp with a package manager, pip or setup.py; Use that to update

As such, the initial error message basically just tells you to check your local version and that it matches the current release, which seems ideal to me.
