  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.

  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 :))

  Wdym non FOSS? It’s MIT. That’s still FOSS even if it’s not the flavor of FOSS you prefer

    They changed the licence to MIT after my post. So good on them. The original licence was non FOSS. You can see it in the git history if you’re interested.
