Few days ago I found odysee. I saw it on grayjay.
I’m trying to use YouTube as less as possible. I found some of creators I follow from yt here.
How do you rate it for privacy.
It’s not that great privacy wise. Probably not as bad as YouTube but unfortunately it doesn’t seems to be their priority.
Yes, Odysee is much better than YT, they will not block you for using a VPN and you can use burner a email to sign up. They also do not have annoying ads every 3 minutes, they have zero ads. Sad that so many creators refuse to post their content on other platforms and continue to support YT’s tyrannical monopoly. Still there is a pretty good selection on there.
I consider odysee to be a longer term pump’n’dump scam for the reasons outlined here:

Personally I wouldn’t place much trust in them.
Slightly moreso than YouTube, but you should really use Librarian or the LBRY app.
Also, be warned that Odysee is alt-tech.
Whats alt-tech?
Platforms that pretend to champion free speech but in reality are nazi bars. (think Xitter, truthsocial, rumble, kick, stuff like that)

Here’s a great video on it (at least if i remember): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ca8zM3WyVw
Thanks for the info! It would be good to be aware of the term
There’s a lot of right wing content
Odysee IS the video platform of LBRY. It’s currently the best alternative to YT
Odysee is A video platform of LBRY. There is also LBRY for desktop and Android, and Librarian is an alternative frontend.
Odysee is dominated by far-right people, a lot of the content is straight up fascistic and comments usually suck
Still, I follow some creators I like there through Grayjay, but no interaction with Odysee
You haven’t answered the question
IIRC it uses BitTorrent (like Peertube), so your IP address will be shared
Do they have apps for consoles yet?
Unfortunately no
