The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

If they actually have age divided portions of their platform, where adults are free to make adult content such as history, reviews of hentai, and so forth, I am all for it. Youtube sucks because it doesn't treat the audience or creators as adults, and often changes the rules at the drop of a hat.

Personally, I am guessing it will fall to Peertube and other fediverse platforms to offer genuine freedom for people, but I wouldn't complain if Bili breaks the camel's back known as Youtube.

It'll just be one more source to add to my GrayJay client at the end of the day lol

How well does GrayJay work? Freetube used to work amazing but it's a tug of war now with google which frequently bans my IP. And it's yt only.

I found this article actually explaining how to bypass this for yt-dlp. But I wonder how far we'll come to have this in a multi source app.
