I've redownloaded some videos from youtube with yt-dlp (same videos, same yt-dlp options) however when comparing (diff) the files downloaded 6 months ago with the current ones some, but not all, are different. In some cases the new size is almost half of the previous one.

Does anyone knows if youtube re-encode or modify videos periodically?
