Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it’s looks.
What do you guys think?
They have a good system in place where normal users moderate the site; if a comment is disliked by enough users it’s “slimed to death”. It will be harder to find and when you find it you have to click it, to see what it said.
This doesn’t work well because there aren’t that many users on Odysee compared to Youtube, and the users who are most vocal are not the friendliest people. so those comments aren’t overshadowed by other comments, and sometimes they are the only comments on the video.
