Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

I commented earlier that if after a year of development they "haven't figured out" the license, they're just poaching the open source reputation until they can milk it later on. I would be shocked to find out this temporary license goes the other way and goes GPL or MIT.

The thing with Rossman is that he's very pro consumer, but also very pro business. it seems his analysis refuses to go any deeper than that. You can hear the cogs of dissonance churning every so often when he comes up with some of his more garbage takes.
