Unmoderated cesspool. Even the most benign videos have bigoted chaos gremlins spewing their shit in the comments.
Yeah, Odysee makes a good case for why censorship isn't always a bad thing.
Moderation of a private space and censorship are different things.
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.
