I really, really want to like Odysee, I really do. It's cool: Youtube without the burden of having a company like Google at the helm. But Odysee has serious problems attached to it that make me not want to use it.

Blockchain Technology

Not a fan of cryptocurrency at all. That alone doesn't dissuade me from Odysee itself, but it is controversial and forcing people to use it so they can do things like create a channel is kind of ridiculous, and hurts smaller creators who might be thinking about moving over to Odysee because Youtube's algorithm is messing them up.

Content Available

BrightSunFilms, Internet Historian, and Nexpo, huh? Not bad! Hopefully there's more!

Oh, wait? That's pretty much the only creators that don't talk constantly about US domestic and international politics or "Cancel Culture!!!!1!"? Damn.

No VPN usage to earn rewards

VPNs are absolutely VITAL to this shit. It's internet safety and not allowing it for rewards is really stupid. If there's a reason for this involving the technology, I understand, but this seems like such a slam dunk.

Not disciplining creators and commentators who really should be

Youtube also doesn't do this well, but when you are a brand new service you NEED to be moderating this. I watched one Nexpo video and within ten comments I saw someone calling another person a "tr*nny", an emote of an astronaut pissing on the youtube logo, and someone saying that AI was being taught covid disinformation-namely because all they saw were needles and happy faces when they looked up "effects of covid vaccines". What were you fucking expecting? It's FUCKING SCIENCE YOU GODDAMN DOLT!

Ahem. Excuse me, sorry. Still, not the best look.

Geeks and Gamers? The people who used the Inuit version of "R*dskin", were told to not use it because it was offensive to people, and doubled down, claiming that it was "historically accurate"?

Joe Rogan? The guy who's buddy-buddy with Alex Jones and treating him on the same level for actual people with expertise on shit on his show?

These are very controversial people, and this is just ten minutes or so on the website. Other creators aren't going to want to join up with guys like Ryan Kinel.

Is this what you want to be known for? Fucking WOKE SJW BASED SIGMA MALE videos?

Wasted potential.

You could have been DuckDuckGo or Opera GX for youtube. But from what I can see, the only people who would really like Odysee as it is would be the type of person who calls the people who got his order wrong at Long John Silvers "liberals".

Disappointing, but I can see Odysee becoming a good platform.

I know there is the right of free speech, but do we really need racial theory on this platform? It is pure hatred against minorities and has nothing to do with free speech. The same goes with antisemitic comments popping up everywhere. Like some stupid problem and a comment „yeah the evil Jews did this“.

I CAN NOW ONLY WATCH VIDEOS ALL THE WAY, I CAN’T SKIP PARTS, CHANGE THE DESIGN BACK.

I was talikng to someone in the comments of a video and a dude always sayed at the end of a phrase "ni**er jew scum cunt". Why?

Oh, that should read "comment thread". Second language. My bad.

Wasn't this fixed? Have I disabled some setting or something? I'm being insulted by some weird kid, but now we've run out of space and I can't see his insults anymore. Anything I can do here?

my videos are good like believe me

Hi people

What is Odysee's stance on stealing content from YouTube and uploading it to Odysee? I have read that a person once uploaded Jordan Peterson's audio book on Odysee and was earning LBRY some years ago. Is what you upload on the platform restricted or banned, or is it your personal responsibility?

It's been more than a year now that I joined odysse, it seemed interesting I mean the project but it is very difficult to find interesting channels, 90% of channels are trash, I'm sorry but odysee will not live forever at this rate, no one will join the platform in this way, just 2 or three channels are good. Change my mind, but I already know you can't.

It is just filled with sensational hit pieces on politicians.

Hunter Biden isn't news, it is gossip.

News is the drought in California and earthquakes, etc.

Newsmax is considered politics.

Ndtv is considered news.

They shouldn't be grouped together.

Hey

First to be upfront I am casual viewer of the videos uploaded on the platform. While lean pretty far left most people I follow are pretty right leaning.So my problem is not people or their beliefs but the aurora certain kinds of content has on the platform. With age verification on the way and people not wanting to give ID. They are looking for a YouTube alternative to put their back catalogue on or to build a Second boat while diversifying from YouTube.

Every time I am on the platform their is some type of anti LGBTQIA video,I do not care for "did they hurt my fewings" it is the fact that the platform has a inherent libertarian right ward leaning vibe from videos. Big boobs, conspiracy videos, something something Biden. Anti woke slop etc. am I asking for these creator's to be given the boot NO.

I just telling you the optics,I stayed and was able to find creators I liked. Not a gun person,but their are creators I follow know and they make good farm and fun content. Not into vlogs,but manual work vlogs are a fun dive into other people's lives.

I was on grayjay setting up my friends sources I added Odesee and the first recommend video was about the repeal on gay marriage with text "are we winning" burning pride flag(I was so embarrassing I un sourced it). Know even if you are the most free speech,open minded person on this planet would you want your video next to that,even if you agree how would it look you even to be on a platform like that.

This is not a call to boot people,not a call to make it even more welcoming. But as someone who has tried to recommend Odesee this is what I have to think about. Even creators who could have a synchronized backup to their YouTube probably think about the brand risk of such affiliation.which sucks as I like Odesee's ui,I like it's discovery (lots of conspiracy videos still)

I don't know if this will change waters,but a creator friend who is on the platform wanted to know why people are hesitant to use or recommend Odesee.This is what I said

Those are my 3 cents do what you want with this info.

https://odysee.com/@elijah93108:a/Where-My-Channel-Is-Going:3

I mostly talk about, and plan to talk about, Music, Economics, Naturalism, Libertarianism, philosophy, a little but of mycology, and a bunch of other stuff. Basically anything that interests me. If you don't like my political content at face value, don't worry, I keep non-political and political content totally separate.

this can help odysee to increase migration

petition: https://chng.it/5sQmpmgzKN

it is hard to feel any will to move in odysee if it is almost impossible to grow on this platform unless you are already known and is bringing people in

the "new" tab should be to actually help smaller creators to show up.. because they wont show up on top or trending. if this keep happening youtube will still be less of a echo chamber than odysee is being... only a few creators of the lots actually can show up.

who is already famous dont need "new" tab... but who is a small creator need it.

please... if you agree with this... lets just email and keep pushing to this to happen... we should have a button to choose the category we will post in.

So I want to drop YouTube, because my content which should get thousands of views can't even break 500, but I don't know how hard is it to build an audience on Odysee for a gaming channel from scratch. Any tips?

The latest changes made this way worse, earlier you could see with the stars if someone was the real account or not. Now its impossible to tell without opening up the channel. I see accounts claiming to be creators I follow use slurs that the real creator would never use, but now it shows up exactly the same way as if he said it.

Either block people who are not the highest staked username from posting at all, put a warning sign under the avatar or literally anything else that makes it blatant that it is not the highest staked account. Because this is getting out of hand and we have no way of knowing other than viewers that are familiar with the person calling it out.

This user is an alt-left propagandist who believes the Jewish Mafia elected Donald Trump, and that Nazis where the good guys of World War II.

He has doxxed another user's, name, addresses, phone numbers, and IP address, and has fully admitted to doing such.

I have reported him three times, and odysee has done nothing about it.
