  Why would anyone use this non FOSS vibe coded thing instead of PeerTube? Copying YouTube’s UX is not a good enough reason when better FOSS alternatives already exist.

  It’s an open source world bro, you can choose what you want, chill :))

  I don’t care if AI was used in its creation. I do care if it’s FOSS/libre.

  And also, it’s a bit weird to me that copying YouTube’s UI is considered good. I havent used YouTube in a long time, but I recall there being some good aspects and some bad. Why not create your own vesion of a UI?

    I completely understand your point of view. But I want to make something that’s easier for YouTube users to migrate to.

    Makes it easier for people to move over, and more willing to.
