Brilliant idea for a universal front end. If the user experience is seamless so that the hosting service doesn't matter that would be such a good way to transition to freer platforms

    It's what I would like to see, but I don't have high hopes for it getting developed. No body seems to want to, because youtube is just too dominant. I certainly don't have the time to work on this, so I don't expect others to.

    It is just hard to imagine going back to a world where we can view long form videos for free, privately, without ads, without a major hassle. I just think I will be watching less videos, ultimately. I have a lot of work I want to do. I am somewhat confident we will return to that world eventually - the cat is out of the bag and something will fill the gap to compete against youtube's degraded service.
