I've heard of a number of Youtube creators that are also placing their content on Odysee as a potential backup. I first heard of this site from Dave at EEVblog:

Doesn't give me a lot of hope with Dave being in the top list on odysee surrounded by alt-right creators who escaped there from other platforms. Plus his recent shilling of the crypto currency connected to odysee on twitter.

I get that creators want to be paid and need a better home than youtube, but none of this bodes well to me yet.

He's been dropping dogwhistles in his recent videos. It feels very mercenary, like he's saying controversial things because it makes his engagement numbers go up. It's fascinating to see the gears of the machine moving. Any gaps in the narrative "attention economy monopolists are profiting off divisive misinformation" are sewn shut in one picture.

Maybe I live under a rock, but I’ve never heard of odysee. I’m definitely checking them out. I love that their tag line is “welcome, we have dislikes.”

there is also altcensored, but it's kinda slow and can be a little unreliable.. It has a lot of content from 2014-2018 that has been removed by Suzan Wucccicizchzky

Interesting - I first heard of odysee this week too from a VR channel I follow - it seems like a decent setup

“Welcome to odyssey: we have dislikes”, this made me smile
