It's nice but if you ever even appear to cut into their ad model they'll shut ya down. Gotta pay the engineers, other employees, electric bill etc.... youtube ain't free ;)

EDIT: I really like the site & hope you flesh it out. Just not getting my hopes up too high. :)

I use a browser plugin that strips down the actual site to a minimal version http://www.clea.nr

It's by far the best solution I've found since it stays out of the way, and when I click on a Youtube link the page is much nicer.

What's the real purpose behind this site? All I see is YouTube with Bootstrap.

There's also YouTube's own Feather beta: http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta

After getting fed up with the ongoing changes to subscriptions I created a barebones tool to act as a replacement. No Google/Youtube account needed, new videos are fetched using the API, setup is git clone and open in browser.
