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.
Thanks. I'll also subscribe to CatFacts™ if you provide them. 😜
TL;DW: Doesn't pet the goddamn cat. I couldn't tell what else he might have been saying.
The day Louis pets the cat will be a legendary one
Then you'll love this video. He pets Blackberry throughout the video and has a segment at the end talking about sponsorblock blocking segments with Mr Clinton in them.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
This is madness. Who would do such a thing?!
YouTube sent him a cease and desist for an app he is creating/distributing claiming that the app is using YouTubes API in an app but apparently the app doesn't use the API. So he basically replied "No, we aren't using that data, check our open-source code" and that he has no plans on stopping
