I find getting rid of YouTube to be incredibly difficult. I use both peer-tube and odysee as much as possible, but still find myself on YouTube more than I’d like. Of course, I’m only doing YouTube through a newpipe, but it’s still accessing YouTube.
Just a heads up, Odysee became bankrupt after its parent company LBRY (owned by a hyper racist and fascist ancap who was trying to politically takeover New Hampshire with a right-wing libertarian community to, among other things, revoke child-labor protection laws before being kicked off the board for his racism) did a pump’n’dump of their LBRY coin without reporting it on their taxes, which the government sued them for since it was illegal.
Odysee was then bought out by Arweave; a blockchain crypto scam company created and owned by Forward Research, which itself is owned by Sam Williams; another venture capital crypto techbro libertarian/ancap who also bought a big NFT company during the Odysee aquisition. So unfortunately, Odysee is no better than Google.
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.
I haven’t seen the video, but am watching it now. It’s always good to get multiple viewpoints on a subject.
As I said above though, I only use Monero so I don’t feel as though I’m subject to all that NFT mess, but I do want to watch the video to see if they cover anything like that, but I doubt it.
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 reruns catered to 80-year-olds on the remaining channels, cause that’s the only demographic left still watching TV.

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 aspect of Odysee and its new NFT-liking owner concern you at all? If not, have you seen this video?

PBS passport and pirating everything else. I do watch some YouTube of people I subbed years ago though
There’s nothing to see in Peer tube
Not with that attitude!
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.
same for odysee
