Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

As long as Rossmann has a say in the ordeal I doubt it'll enshittify. If it they can't carry it anymore, I think they'll re-license it.
But in any case, I'm really glad to see effort toward this. Because I may be naive, but I think this will make viewers & potential devs aware that it's possible to have a great experience consuming video without being tied up in Youtube's basement, and I predict will inspire more FOSS in the same vein.
