I love Louis but does anyone have TL;DW?

YouTube legal wants Futo to release apis and user data to them as they believe Grayjay is violating their terms.

Grayjay doesn't store user data nor is it using their APIs so the terms don't apply

Futo will not be removing Grayjay and won't be complying with a request that cannot be fulfilled.

Other details:

  • YouTube Premium's download feature still requires an Internet connection to access content downloaded.

  • Louis makes the point of being tired of paying for products and services that end up giving you less and less, which is part of the reason why Grayjay was created

  • Content creators shouldn't fear of being banned by an temperamental AI that could cripple their livelihood without an explanation which Grayjay attempts to solve as viewers can still access their content on Rumble, Twitch and other platforms if they get banned on Youtube.

Good on Louis for sticking to his guns.
