Be interesting if someone makes a nice recommendation engine (search) that does trending of real videos by views/votes, not fake hand picked curated trending like yt.

Seems like people are finally annoyed at being controlled on what they are fed while they consume content. Thats what i like about grayjay, it embraced that freedom of the original internet, not letting corps control what you, putting the control back into the hands of the viewers.

I toyed with an idea for a patreon clone, that would allow users to post a thumbnail to their video, and underneath quick links to other hosting providers. So the main choice is upto the creator, but also allow users to choose a different content streamer. I always hated how these services controlled creators too. What stores they can use.

The idea of a "plugin" or provider, creators could pick their merch store provider even. Such ideas of opening a system to different companies, making competition.

Grayjay dev here. What you suggest you can already do in the Grayjay Android app. Support has not been added in the desktop app yet. Harbor is the app you can use to claim that you own a specific account and then you can configure for example which Merch to show. It supports the largest storefronts if you input an URL it will automatically scrape that specific page and cache the results. You can however also input a JSON.
