No. They all have to connect via an API that ultimately Google controls and monitors. Unfortunately decentralized or not, they all tap into the same well.

But in any case, the extensions can’t be spotted by YT, so that’s why they have the best chance of co existing (or not easily).

I understood fine. How are you getting these videos to begin with? You think Google won’t notice? And when you have them, where are you storing them?

And paying for it all, how?

Trust me. I understood just fine.

You dismissed the idea as if it weren’t possible without engaging with it. It would be possible. I’m not developing the app so I don’t feel the need to provide a detailed plan but these all are solvable problems. The biggest issue keeping it from being a reality would be the legal one.
