yt-dlp or embedded youtube links say "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot" but for me the whole plan of this operation is that i don't have to do that.
that's pretty bad
(edit: it works again, i changed nothing just waited)

Yep, found it about a year ago and never looked back. Its actually funded by futo which i think is owned by Yahoo. Hopefully it stays around for a while.
It is currently only owned by Eron Wolf, which is stated in their FAQ: https://futo.org/about/futo-faq/
Thanks for the information.
The app is distributed in a third party repo, not the main F-Droid repo, so before installating I'm trying to check if it's open-source, had some independent review, and is safe to install.
The source is available but the license isn't recognised as OSS according to the OSI website. https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay https://opensource.org/licenses
This may explain why it's not in the main F-Droid repo. It's better than closed source anyway.
