A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Odysee is good for privacy, and fine for viewing, but most creators aren't going to use it as a primary way of distributing their stuff.
If you're publishing, you want an audience (and preferably a monetization method), and odysee doesn't have that.
On this video Rossman has 1200 views on Odysee, but over 725K views on youtube.
Almost everyone publishing on Odysee (myself included) do it as a secondary distribution channel, with youtube as the main (because, again, the viewers are there, and it has a monetization method).
i agree in terms of what we have right now. but without users engaging with the videos on alternative platforms, we'll never see any platform change unless there's spooky investor money thrown into it.
as "power-users" (ew) or tech-literate people, i feel like we should be the ones doing the early adoption.
for anyone who doesn't want to use odysee because there isn't many videos, I recommend the Watch on Odysee extension. when you open a youtube video it'll automatically redirect you to the Odysee upload, if there is one. it's available on Chromium and Firefox.
become the change you want to see :))
All I'm seeing is a place to upload video instructions to the tutorials I'm going to post here. Heh.
