So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.
How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?
Because Grayjay allows users to follow others across multiple platforms such as Rumble, Odyssey and Twitch. So if they get banned off YouTube, they will still be able to access content on other platforms.
And with Grayjay, you can download these videos and access them without needing to connect to the internet which is required for YouTube Premium despite the content being downloaded on the YouTube app.
I'm not quite following what is your confusion when he outlined the problem Grayjay is trying to solve.
I collect actual media files — it’s easy and perfectly reliable. We’ve been doing it since 1997. Why do anything else?
What do you mean by "anything else"?
Apps like Grayjay and Newpipe allow you to "collect" those media files.
I don’t really know anything about grey Jay. I just know how to create my own archives of files and use them as I please. I’m not sure why I would need any kind of app to access my files — except for the player.
