Kinda like reddit, but the subreddits are topic "channels" that you can watch.

- southerntofu 5y agoThat would be amazing. Why support only Youtube though? It could be useful for many other sources/kinds of content! > Would this be vulnerable to a legal attack from Google? Not really, no. Rehosting the video could be fragile legally, depending on the actual use-case (eg. education/accessibility exceptions to copyright). But a free-software gathering links to existing 3rd party content is just a standard web page, nothing challenging legally. RSS feed readers are not illegal.

In this specific case they're making profit from content created by 3rd parties, which is definitely a copyright infringement.
