Ease of use for steam big picture mode on TVs. It is one of the problems I’ve been meaning to find a solution for when I build my media center TV to make things easier for my not nearly as tech savvy wife and kids.
Comment on Youtube frontend, Grayjay is coming to Steam

Why though?

Probably for additional exposure to the public and to monetize via paid DLC as a ‘supporter tier’ style offering (with limited or no added features).
Grayjay is donationware - “FOSS”, but with a strong encouragement to donate if you use it regularly and have the means to support.
I put FOSS in quotes because Grayjay is not really OSS. It has a custom license that does not allow commercial reuse of its code.
This has caused significant discussion of concerns and ire from some.

And Futo’s ties to Curtis Yarvin, red flag or dealbreaker?

I wasn’t t aware of the Curtis Yarvin link at all. I’ve just read that blog article and it’s not possible to remain cautiously optimistic or give them benefit of the doubt… the FUTO founder (Eron Wolf) seems very clearly ideologically-aligned with fascists.
Well, now I’m really hoping they change their license to true open source, so a group less ideologically disastrous can fork it and take the helm for interested contributors and supporters to join.

FUTO does not accept donations, only license purchases.

I’m sure I donated back in version 0.1 or 0.2, maybe a year ago, but looking now it doesn’t seem to show me as being a registered user, so perhaps I was wrong.
I’m pretty sure it still falls under the definition of ‘donationware’, though?
