Biggest opportunity: Swap “youtube embed” and “youtube” for “live stream” and “shorts”. “youtube embed” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “live stream” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “youtube” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “shorts” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 27.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “youtube”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
