Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.

It's viewable source, the license does not allow modification and distribution of the modifications. The license also reserves the right to be revoked at any time.

It's source available, but it is not what most people would consider open source in the common usage.

He says in the video on yt that you can fork it and modify it however you want for personal use no problem. You just can't make money distributing it I think.

So basically no chance of it coming to iOS. Given that even open source apps have options to purchase donations in the iOS app, cause developers can’t eat gratitude

He also says somewhere in the comments that apple simply wouldn't allow this app on the app store. But there's also the option of sideloading, I think that's free no?

Sideloading on iOS is free but a total PITA. There is little incentive to build an app for such a small userbase

Hrmmmm. I'm not certain I'm liking YOUR gratitude, sir or ma'am.
