Lol idk how removing ads and just rehosting the video is a gray area but whatever works for me... I figured when I first clicked on it, it was like a watch party kind of thing. Like I post a video file then whoever I want can watch it with me... Not just pulling video files from other sites lol. Still, seems cool and is super slick

They do not rehost. It's still coming directly from the illegaé sites.

Newpipe is in that gray area too and they're still going strong despite the best legal efforts from youtube.

You're not kidding. I doubt this is going to stay up.

All the sites it’s pulling media from aren’t getting taken down, so I doubt it will be either.

And if it does no doubt another 10 websites will take its place.

I'd leave out the fact that it's self hostable. The read me is outdated so shit doesn't work... and the creator over on discord will repeatedly tell you "sorry, no support for self hosting ¯_(ツ)_/¯"... Even though there's a readme and self hosting files on their GitHub.

Docker set up?

Reminds me of when I had to chase down a legit version of Exodus every time Kodi updated. Maybe this is a lil simpler

Weird concept, but cool nonetheless.
