Alleycat Player - why aren't you using it?

 

I've been reluctant to write up something like this because I don't want to be called an "attention whore" or a "nigger" (whatever that means to you). Believe me, I do not want attention. I have a board on 8kun and I am not interested in having my little piece of heaven pissed on by shit disturbers (which I am risking right now). I just want to offer the world something valuable but, so far, my offer has been falling on deaf ears.

 

Alleycat Player is a tool for viewing and saving videos from multiple websites. The list of supported sites is too long to post here. Sure, it doesn't come close to what a tool like youtube-dl supports (when it works) but the major sites are there. People often ask about how to save Youtube videos and they invariably get pointed to some website that offers a download service. Is that the best that we can do? Are there no freely available (and user-friendly) tools that one can use on one's own computer? That's Alleycat Player but everyone ignores it.

 

I have posted about this tool many times on /qresearch/ and my posts have been Notabled three times but, still, there are few takers. Are you afraid of the Node.js requirement? Nervous about running a proxy server on your computer? I have no idea because nobody wants to give me feedback. Alleycat Player is safe and reliable. You can read the source code yourself, if you care to. It is hand-coded Javascript. You can easily modify it with just a text editor. It is yours to do with what you will. That is freedom but you willingly give up your freedom by relying on websites which you do not control. Why is that?

 

I ask you to think about what freedom from the tyranny of the Internet means to you. Alleycat Player is a tool for those who want freedom and control over their own access to information. You do not need to be a prisoner of Youtube or Twitter but most people seem to prefer that because it is too hard to install a tool for freedom and to learn how to use it. I will NEVER watch a video on Youtube or Twitter or any other site if I don't have to. Why do you?

 

The reason why I post about Alleycat Player here and not anywhere else is because you are the intended audience. This is a power tool for those who take video watching seriously. Are you in that category? If you are, then you need this tool. It may not be perfect (what is?) but it keeps getting better and better.
