With grayjay (assuming you use Android) you can follow creators and not platforms.
Able to access quite a few different services with just 1 app
In theory yes, but in practice Grayjay doesn't really work that way. I think for it to work as intended, the creators need to actually create a Grayjay identity and connect it to their accounts. Which literally none of them do.
I believe there is more functionality that is supposed to exist beyond just the cross platform search, but that functionality depends on the cross-platform identity thing I mentioned.
Grayjay just let's you find creators only any platform there are plugins for. If a creator is on twitch and YouTube for example, it's really just up to you to decide if it's the same person when looking at the search results.
