I’ve been using FreeTube since Piped was very inconsistent for me, but I guess that’s just the nature of these services. I’ll have to check out Invidious again, last time I tried it was several years ago and I stopped using it after the main instance shut down. Is it still under active development? I remember its development status being unclear, partially because the language it uses is not super mainstream, but it’s probably changed since then.

Fortunately, Invidious, Piped, Libretube and Newpipe all exist and work flawlessly so there’s no excuse to use proprietary trash like that.

Isn’t the very point of this post that Invidious and Piped don’t work flawlessly?

Can’t you still modify and distribute Grayjay, just not commercially? I understand that still prevents the app from being considered open source, but their reasoning is valid IMO (to prevent people from making ad-infested clones on the play store, which has happened with NewPipe before).

Without addressing performance, the largest difference is going to be software support. The Jetsons have legitimate CUDA-compatible GPUs, which means they can be used directly with libraries like PyTorch without (oftentimes poorly supported) additional tooling to convert formats.
