      The old „but if we dont pay them all our money they might stahp!“

      They wont.

      Do you know how I know? Because youtube (google) is a predatory monopolist and they will always find ways to take as much as they can.

      I‘m not rossmans biggest fan but he seems to have understood that its time to take off the kiddie gloves. I blocked everything and anything resembling youtube making money off me, I dont watch youtube content if I can help it and I dont upload anymore. I do upload and watch regularly in the fediverse and I‘m telling everyone to do the same.

      I do my duty as a citizen of this planet so that we hopefully wont end up in some cyberpunk-like hellscape at some point. I encourage you to help.

      The app will also link all platforms. If you subscribe to Louis for example you will also get his videos on Odysee, Rumble and whatever else he has. That’s what this string in his channel info does: 4Y1IC54hpe60aqaLCgjn7zlcSMH/IPxh5/cLnX6RKp0=

      So if Youtube finally bans him, nothing will change for Grayjay users.

      That’s the real point of Grayjay I think. It aggregates Youtube, Twitch and all the other stuff. Nice side effect is getting rid of all the ads and providing its own spam free, uncensored comment section.
