I signed up to Odysee the other day to upload a video. It was too hard and I gave up.
You need to be confirmed to upload. Their options were:
Do a test transaction ($1 to CC). Broken, not available at this time.
Pay some money (CC transaction). Also broken (I checked my bank history to make sure the money didn’t get taken anyway. I would have been happy to pay a few dollars to host a video, I know it’s not trivial)
Join their discord and say “Hi” to the verif bot. The bot said “message me with details of your IRL public social media accounts”. I don’t have those.
Nope nope nope. Made an account on Vimeo and uploaded there instead. Everything worked.
Maybe I’m just not the target audience? Bigger barriers to entry might only let the more profitable people pass? Not sure.
I’ve been on Odysee for a while and immediately signed up for premium. Happy to give my money to not-youtube. Unfortunately, there aren’t many of my favourite creators on there yet, so I still have to return to YT for some things.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Odysee yet

Holy shit that’s actually removed. Good luck to them it’s probably the first and last time I’ll hear of them.
It’s what now?
Odysee is a right wing cesspool with no moderation and crypto is a complete scam at this point. https://thelinuxexp.com/Im-leaving-odysee/
