Does this app has any creator monetization in mind, or does 'your way' means 'fuck you, i'm not paying you for shit, i'm just taking it'? None of it is "your content", or their content, it's just someone else's content they're leeching on. "full ownership" - of what?

literally just, what are their thoughts on that. do people deserve being paid? or don't? and if they don't and it's not worth paying for, how is it still worth watching? what is this bizarre mix of disdain and yet desire and entitlement to things, that they'll try to get them in whatever roundabout way, instead of just not watching the thing?

Grayjay allows you to view member (pay only) content if you log in with an account that has access. That allows creators to monetize their content.

I'm glad Grayjay includes an adblocker, I wouldn't use it otherwise.

So they're stripping away people's monetization just to insert themselves as a middleman for their own monetization? Very cool!
