Send email to your fav. Youtubers to start a channel on Odyssey. Hope we get a comparable alternative. Odyssey is pretty good. Load time is less and video quality is great. Just need content creators. Does anyone know if Odyssey pays its content creators?

[–] Zarxrax@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Like a week ago, the company behind Odyssey lost a lawsuit and will be shutting down. As of now, no one knows what happens to Odyssey in the future. Maybe some other company buys it and continues to run it. Maybe it changes into something totally different. Maybe it just shuts down.

Odyssey, kick , rumble etc all need apps on motr devices

[–] yoz@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thanks. Now I know kick and rumble exist. Can you share the link please

Well, the content is more focused on the Right rather than center-left to left-wing.

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good reason to invite some of the Left, too!

I'm not sure it's a platform that should be promoted. It is incredibly laden with alt right content, even worse than the stuff YouTube frequently attempts to drive me toward. It's also just another publicly traded company. It's affiliated with that Truth Social stuff as well.

Because those were set up under the idea of 'free peach', not under the idea of 'this neoliberal demonic brood is sucking us dry'.. The others just think that YouTube is leaving money laying around by kicking nazis off. I suggest leaving them alone in their safe space.

Cheers bro

Edit: what the hell?

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sorry, they're the first results on Google if you search "rumble" and "kick" so I figured you'd have already found them 😅.

It's just rumble.com and kick.com. Rumble is packed with alt right content though. I always knew it as RT's favourite platform.

The Grayjay app supports these sites already (Android only)

Screenshot spoiler

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Grayjay is incredible, honestly.

[–] Muyal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Tried it. The front page is nothing but conspiracy and crypto bullshit. So no, thanks.

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Odysee is based on Lbry, so content creators can get crypto that is openly tradeable for regular money. So yes.

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anything that get even near crypto might make a lot of content creators think twice before moving. I know I would.

[–] Stumblinbear@pawb.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is really unfortunate because there are some actually useful, neat projects

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe it, but crypto's reputation is forever stained by the shitshow that happened, and it won't change in the near future.

[–] Stumblinbear@pawb.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which shitshow? Imo that's like saying the internet is forever stained by whatever "shitshow" there was. It's just a technology, there are good and bad applications

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The GPU market being wrecked by motherfuckers that wanted to build crypto farms, the cryptocurrency scams, the NFTs, etc.

And the greatest problem of all with crypto is that it is a solution for a non-existing problem. The web worked fine without it and it proved to be way more stable than crypto ever could.

[–] Stumblinbear@pawb.social -1 points 1 year ago

Oh sure I'm not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore

a solution for a non-existing problem

Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That's why I'm on Lemmy, after all, haha

So no.
