I noticed their apps are high in size compared to other apps, like for example their keyboard app size is 129 MB, which is a giant size compared to other android keyboards.

Grayjay also seems to be kind of giant, compared to bravenewpipe that supports a lot of services while still very low in size.

The only app in my opinion that has kind of reasonable size is their voice recognition, while it looks kind of ugly compared to Transcribro.

Is there is a reason for all of this?

Other apps store stuff locally also, you can compare for example bravenewtube and grayjay, you will see a weird size difference.

I can't find this 'bravenewtube' app you speak of, but I must admit I am not far from bedtime..

There's a difference between YouTube alternatives and Grayjay. Grayjay connects content creators across numerous platforms under a single app.

Edit: I just woke up and realized I typed 'bravenewtube' instead of bravenewpipe LMFAO. Oopsie, I did say I was tired haha!

Due to restrictive project policy, the NewPipeTeam refuses to add platforms that they find offensive. This fork (BraveNewPipe) will not be as restrictive. As long as the platforms work in the spirit of free speech, they could be integrated.

Nevertheless, platforms that promote pornography or other degrading things will NOT be included here.

lmao

Bet this post is some covert advertising for this probably alt right bullshit, since Louis Rossman just gave a bunch of visibility to the futo organisation.
