YouTube legal wants Futo to release apis and user data to them as they believe Grayjay is violating their terms.
Grayjay doesn't store user data nor is it using their APIs so the terms don't apply
Futo will not be removing Grayjay and won't be complying with a request that cannot be fulfilled.
Other details:
YouTube Premium's download feature still requires an Internet connection to access content downloaded.
Louis makes the point of being tired of paying for products and services that end up giving you less and less, which is part of the reason why Grayjay was created
Content creators shouldn't fear of being banned by an temperamental AI that could cripple their livelihood without an explanation which Grayjay attempts to solve as viewers can still access their content on Rumble, Twitch and other platforms if they get banned on Youtube.
Precisely what I'm alluding to. If he dislikes youtube so much, why isn't he uploading his stuff to mirrors? Grayjay should/would be able to pick that up and allow watching his content from peertube instead of peertube.
So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.
How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?
Because Grayjay allows users to follow others across multiple platforms such as Rumble, Odyssey and Twitch. So if they get banned off YouTube, they will still be able to access content on other platforms.
And with Grayjay, you can download these videos and access them without needing to connect to the internet which is required for YouTube Premium despite the content being downloaded on the YouTube app.
I'm not quite following what is your confusion when he outlined the problem Grayjay is trying to solve.
How do you power your drives on a cross country drive? How do they handle the bumps and the vibrations?
Also, it's rougly the same as why it's easier to pay for streaming services instead of downloading your media or obtaining a physical copy, and managing that.
Don't get me wrong, I don't use neither spofity, netflix, or anything like that, but downloading the media and transferring it to your mobile device is often not that easy, and always takes time, especially the first few times while you're getting used to it. And then also don't forget that a lot don't even have real computers, just a phone, and good luck to connect a hard drive to that
I’ve got a collection of classic iPods — the ones with the clickwheel.
Yes — the files can take time to download and organize and curate but in the end — if I need a thousand hours of audio I can rely on… well, it’s easy and fail proof.
I was just looking for a YouTube frontend alternative to install on a LineageOS device and this post pops up on my feed. Straisand effect at its finest.
