Libretube uses piped and Clipious uses Invidious both of which are not directly Youtube. All of those are also Foss. Grayjay is not Foss and thus should be avoided. You also can use Newpipe as it supports few of other services but I never understood the need for a everything app.
Self host YouTube?
Do you own YouTube?
I do, but we’re not talking about me though. We’re talking about this guy trying to watch YouTube. And you’re telling him to self host. Lol
Greyjay
I like my software libre and free
Me too, so where’s the libre alternative?
Newpipe, Libretube and Clipious just to name a few
Literally all of those depend on YouTube as a host. Grayjay is like an RSS reader for any hosts. The point is to get away from centralized control.
