"Follow Creators, Not Platforms." - Grayjay.app 

Grayjay.app is basically an aggregator app for video platforms!

The reason for this app and post goes around YouTube kicking people off (for ages now but maybe increasingly more public as backlash and videos about it) for 0 reason and at best just a general email sent "according to our terms and conditions" etc if you're lucky and almost never any specifics what you did.
Anyway I think they reserve right without reasons, which isn't great when you lost your channel and videos!!

So this post is why Google YouTube it's my favourite avatar at the moment!

And putting my teachers hat on today 🎓 as 👨‍🏫 then I bring you as the next generation teachers, a big answer to the problem about commercial platforms is when it come sto getting kick-off the site unexpectedly off a platform (right now everyone is likely getting kicked off or subject to the random opn YouTube - especially if videos are "too good" in some way or they just basically don't show your comments or video, demote it / shadow ban it etc...).

If you follow Louis Rossman (fighttorepair.org) you'll know what I mean.

So I recommend you check some of his videos using a YouTube filter, like specifically this video and link below about:

"Youtube's Legal Team sent me a letter!":

A list of YouTube problems as below

█ Banned and deleted without notice / willy nilly

█ Not fair enforcement across all of YouTube

█ They don't tell you the rules that you broke, just you're gone sometimes

█ A lot of content is allowed over others that even become more popular and seemingly allowed to break the rules!

█ Comments are deleted or never show up even from authors commenting saying nothing bad... on their own video!
(comments without curses, no links inside, nothing just comments doesn't work on YouTube or is hit and miss)

█ YouTube AI maybe deletes illogically. Lots of AI type new stuff maybe not fully tested / trying to save money on hiring emplyees...

Overall, it seems the better or real you are the more likely of you getting cancelled!

So this is a solution from YouTube kicking people off silently or without reason:

Grayjay.app so people can "Follow Creators, Not Platforms."

Grayjay.app enables you to create and watch video content in your own terms, fully retaining ownership and having control over what you watch. Your content on your terms.
