I had never heard of this before, and it seems to be a shallow clone of YouTube with (surprise!) crypto grafted on. The videos all seem to be copied from YouTube, and the first "Top featured" video had racked up all of 188 views in the past week.

- Gareth321 4y agoI'm not sure why it would be surprising or bad that creators upload to YouTube and alternative platforms. I don't like exclusivity and I'm glad that that doesn't appear to be a major strategy for any of them. As for engagement, what I understand you to be arguing is that because Odysee doesn't have the same userbase as YouTube, it is bad? Can you see why this argument would invalidate anyone trying to compete with any incumbent in any market? My comment was really to reinforce that the platform is competitive now. As I said, it just needs more content creators.
- timbit42 4y agoThe reason there are a lot of videos copied from YouTube is Odysee has a feature for importing all of the videos you created on YouTube. This plugin will tell you when you are watching a YT video that also exists on Odysee: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/watch-on-odysee/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/watch-on-odys...
