The site CSS is a little broken on iPhone, causing elements to hang off the screen or overlap. FAQ link gives a 404.

Technically, I think this is against YouTube (for example) TOS, though I don’t expect that would be enforced against end users.

I don't get the motivation. You want to prevent doom-scrolling? I don't doom-scroll on Spotify, why is that there?

Seems like a verry brittle setup. Since it adds adblock by default all this will do is make youtube crack down on adblock even more.

This isn't designed to be a hypergrowth company. It's a side project someone with money is funding out of passion

I’d like to believe it but I’m so jaded at this point. Give you, one vendor, all my data from these different platforms to ‘protect my privacy’, that I only have at this point because my behavior is dispersed across platforms. Hmmm.

What about Tiktok? Add that and i'm interested

Lol. Don’t hold your breath. I used to enjoy TikTok until they forced me to create an account and install their spyware.

This feels like a central hub for media you like?

I would assume these privacy claims would also include a ToS violation for the given platform?

And then of course the user has given Grayjay a lot of info so privacy?

Are they scraping the actual content too or just accessing it in some different way?
