Hello there!

Many of you consider LBRY and Odysee as a good alternative to YouTube, because it does not track you, and does not do evil things.

Let me clear up your heads.

LBRY and Odysee still tracks you. It does still use an algorithm, that recommends you content. To be honest, it isn’t really different from YouTube. You need a phone number to verify, or other personal information. They use third-party components, to provide their services like Google AdSense. If it grows more, then we will get to the same point, what we have now with YouTube. (If they don’t make a change.)

From LBRY Inc. Privacy Policy:

PeerTube is the based alternative

Peertube is not librejs compliant though

How? Does it contain non-free JavaScript or LibreJS fails to detect it as free? Or it is “non-trivial“?

Those script lines are all auto-generated by the Webpack build. As I’ve been saying, we almost certainly need a Webpack plugin to handle this cleanly. Please supply a plugin if you want this fixed. None of this is strange, Peertube is using one of the most common JS build systems in the world and you’ll need to support Webpack if you expect apps to adopt LibreJS’s requirements.

This is probably why.

This is hardly a breaking issue, since all the javascript is in fact free and open source, you just need to put an exception in your browser settings.
