  odysee as much as possible

  Just a heads up, Odysee became bankrupt after its parent company LBRY (hyper ancap owners) did some illegal securities sale. It was then bought out by Arweave, which is a blockchain crypto scam company created and owned by Forward Research, which is owned by Sam Williams, who is another venture capital crypto techbro libertarian/ancap who at the same time bought a big NFT company, so unfortunately Odysee is no better than Google.

  Peertube is great though.

    I am fully aware of what odysee is. I still choose to use it because I’m a libertarian myself, and it’s still a competitor to Google.

      I see. Does the crypto/NFT aspect of Odysee and its new owner concern you at all? If not, have you seen this video?

        I use Monero myself and I’m fully aware that NFTs are total scams. At least the way they were done several years ago. And probably still today. I stay away from all that mess

    It would help a lot if more creators used it.

      They have zero incentive to use it.

      Makes no money for them, scalps what little they make from Youtube.

  It surely doesn’t help that YouTube has replaced broadcast TV for most people. You can’t even go back if you wanted to because TV is all but dead these days. Not unless you don’t mind 24-7/365 marathons of Ridiculousness on MTV, and nothing but reality TV and old shows catered to 80-year-olds on the remaining channels.
