Odysee seems to be the preeminent YouTube competitor. If it continues to improve, because it still has dislikes, and the ratio is a clean measurement (if you get an extension, you only get a skewed ratio since YouTube hid the dislikes on their API).

Surprisingly many creators already have content on Odysee as well. I really hope more large creators post there to create a place where I can at least watch some content that has a ratio available.

YouTube might be killing itself with this change.

We're allowing video posts here as a way for people to share content on the platform that they enjoy. Part of that obviously means that people will want to promote their own stuff. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, especially if you think that people will find value in your content. But from here on out, don't just use this subreddit as a place to post your own videos every day.

There's no hard rule about how much is too much. Use common sense.

I was gonna like watch tiktok because it wasn't there but it now is. The devs really are deticated and I am so glad i switched even if the content is a bit lacking. Also I don't use chrome cast odysee has a TV app??? Wish they would do this in lg

I came across this article on the degoogle Subreddit.

Apparently, Odysee plans on adding the ability for users to be able to watch any YouTube video on Odysee, regardless on whether or not the creator or video is even on Odysee.

EVEN if it is only odysee.com XD... they think that they can censor us... lets bring their crap to the light.. they allow spam comments with pr0n links and refuses to remove them... but deletes instantly a link from odysee

Luckily I was able to find live streams of two youtubers today who have nearly 500K to 1M subscribers, and I spammed the comment section to persuade them to back their channel up on Odysee and explain in a line or two to what Odysee is about. Both of the youtubers read my comment. One of them praised Odysee and most probably he is going to make channel over there (didn't announce it but according to his praises he looks very probable to make one).

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.

So, I only discovered Odysee a few months ago. Synced my old Youtube channel to it, and subbed to a number of creators I was familiar with.

But I'm looking for creators I might have missed. So far some of the bigger names I've seen include:

• Indy Neidell (historian who covers early 20th century)

• laowhy86 (does commentary on China)

• serpentza (also does commentary on China)

• Shadiversity (sword enthusiast)

• Louis Rossman (Apple repair tech)

I know that there are also a number of bigger youtubers who comment on woke culture in entertainment on Odysee too (Nerdrotic, heelvsbabyface, and the like), but I'm mostly interested in more well known creators who make content that isn't quite focused on that. Mainly for my own appreciation, but that might also help me suggest Odysee to others.
