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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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?

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 2 years ago

Grayjay is incredible, honestly.

[–] Pasta4u@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

Yes but what platforms is gray Jay on

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

So no.

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Depending on how you look at it. It's not perfect, but it is something, and it allows creators profits to scale up with the platform. I'd like if they'd get a choice between that and traditional payouts, though, and recognize Odysee/Lbry is not the final holy grail for hosting video content.
