    Online is pretty good. Seems to work and then cut out. Guess it depends on what you're looking for. Not my favorite.

Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Odysee is widely viewed as a user-friendly, decentralized YouTube alternative with a familiar interface, fewer ads, open-source roots, and content unavailable on YouTube. Users also value its political balance and non-political creators. Recurring drawbacks include limited reach and content variety, weak search and mobile performance, controversial or extremist content, cryptocurrency-dependent monetization, upload-credit requirements, editing limitations, and concerns about moderation and DMCA handling.

Brilliant indeed! While on youtube free speech is suppressed, on Odysee one can find a lot of people who love free speech heartily.

The DMCA system is very bad. There is no strikes system and no warnings. It's a DMCA troll's paradise. Just one false DMCA claim and everything you have uploaded will be flagged with "DMCA claim" and taken down. It hits the entire account, not the just the offending video!

It will not tell you what item was hit with the claim, who claimed it, or why. Not even removing every single thing on the account will not remove the DMCA claim flag. Odysee has zero way to dispute DMCAs outside of emailing them directly. But filing a DMCA claim is as easy as hitting the "report" button.

Because of this very poor system, I can not recommend Odysee.

Hmm. This is a very important issue. Can you provide more information about that? Can you provide sources?

Based on current content this is only good if you enjoy engineer, chemistry and privacy creators. Has content from creators that YouTube removes by it's policy so it is common for some to redirect you to their Odysee. For people uploading it lets you upload to Odysee and YouTube simultaneously but I would suggest uploading to Odysee first then always delay YouTube uploads to help encourage more people to use it more. The mobile app is janky and uses higher resources than it should which I would suggest Grayjay instead for that.

As a creator I first have to 'earn' credits to upload my content. WTF. So apparently , it's not 'credit' enough that I took hours to create a video and I'm going to contribute that for free to your platform? Sheesh.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

Unlike other alternative platforms (BitChute, Rumble), there seems to be equal footing for both left and right wing perspectives on political issues. Also unlike Bitchute and Rumble, there seems to be an audience for non-political content. HOWEVER, there are issues with the editing of videos, and more importantly, there's no real way to make money on the platform outside of cryptocurrency donations. In fact, the platform is tied at the hip with cryptocurrency, a speculative asset that can violently fluxuate in value, and can be difficult to convert into actual, usable currencies.

Great YouTube alternative! Very low censorship, but even if they hide your video - it will still be available in the blockchain, so basically it is almost zero censorship. Disadvantages: you cannot modify your videos after upload, so you'll need to upload a full video again even if you want to make a little change. Let's hope that it will become more popular and a real competitor to YouTube!

How to live without Google

For many the Internet is Google: Search, mail, videos, web browser, cloud services, mobile OS, etc. – Google is the major player in all these fields. But Google uses all data it gathers across its services to post targeted ads, and to massively profit from the data many share so freely with the Internet giant. Your personal data can also be subpoenaed by lawyers, including for civil cases like divorce. Google answered over 200,000 such data requests in 2020 alone. More and more people are also realizing the risk of relying on one company for so many personal services. So, the time has come to stop this unlimited data mining and to take back our right to privacy. Here's a quick guide as to how you can use the Internet without sharing all your data with Google.
