it looks like you just described the customer. apparently it isn't you. just because it isnt you and it isnt 90+ percent of people, doesn't mean it doesnt exist. there are all sorts of niche products for niche groups.

#23Seems like a verry brittle setup. Since it adds adblock by default all this will do is make youtube crack down on adblock even more.
It feels like there is a trend of apps out there that are "about" creators, but then happily shaft them ...

#24I’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.
I don't have a FUTO, Grayjay, or Youtube account and use the app just fine

#25The 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.
It's broken on Android/Firefox, too.

As someone who tried to build a browser-based, serverless Youtube video downloader, every hack under the moon doesn't work. But doing it from a fully controlled client is easy.

#28We always been missing good 3rd party search/trending for online videos. I've been using a youtube frontend called pockettube, where I could make lists(channels) for content I like, without youtube forcing me what to watch. Example. I have an Art and Food channels with my favorite content creators, I get to see the list in order of newest videos first, totally bypassing youtubes forced interface. In fact, if people s…
Finding content is so hard.
All YouTube wants me to watch are "OMG YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS COP DID" content. I have no idea why they want me to watch those videos, I never do and I block the videos and the channels from recommendations but they keep coming ...
All I get are ads for weird suspect drugs and products, just going on these platforms is such a bad vibe.

#30This looks really interesting. Specifically I would love to be able to set up something like this for my kids so that I have control over what they are able to watch on YouTube. I want to offer my kids whitelisted shows and creator accounts. I know theres a lot of interesting and high quality stuff out there but I do NOT want YT recommending things to my kids without going through me first.
Grayjay looks like it may be a solution!
