Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.

    I wish somewhere on their site or anywhere in that description they’d say “Android App”.

    I was a little disappointed as an iOS user browsing their site trying to find the iOS App Store link 😬.

    Downloaded it and tried it. It’s awesome. It blows invidious and newpipe out of the water. Plus it includes my nebula subscriptions in with my YouTube subscriptions.

      Do you know if it sends back watch data to the platforms? I pay for Nebula to support the folks I watch, so wouldn’t want to lose out on that.

        Nebula is beta, hopefully it gets support for sending back watch stats and saving watch progress 🙏

        I see they have something similar for YouTube already, where you can enable/disable anonymity (using your google account for requests VS anonymous requests), and enable/disable saving watch history to your linked Google account

    It’s viewable source, the license does not allow modification and distribution of the modifications. The license also reserves the right to be revoked at any time.

    It’s source available, but it is not what most people would consider open source in the common usage.

      Exactly. Beware of the inevitable enshittification down the line. Once they have the market share, they have no reason not to close their source
