I’ll always prefer true decentralised solutions over cryptocurrency based ones. These crypto platforms are capitalism’s solutions to capitalism’s problems

For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.

Great. I found out about Odysee not too long ago and it also did not take them long to disappoint me.

Other than this cookie, have you tried uploading content to that site? You have to pay to upload, and the more money you “stake” into the video the better your content will rank in their algorithm. They also force you to confirm your account to have a functional experience.

I tried to figure out how to get content into any of the listed categories but I think that you just need to stake more money. I can find no way to look new content that is not posted to any of their categories, so I am not sure how one would get discovered through Odysee without paying.

This is too unfortunate, because the project did get some momentum and there is enough content to keep one entertained.

The content on the categories is from channels that are hard coded in the frontend, you probably have to contact them or something.

There never will be a platform that does not track with millions of users, simply because people abuse everything they can for their purposes.

Claiming that your platform with millions of millions users + growth will never introduce tracking or counter-measures is scam.

Fooling people with promises like privacy, security etc is a thing these days and the reason people give less and less a damn abut it because at the end of the day they often get betrayed. Which is the real tragedy here.

Thanks for sharing my little ““article”” 😄

I’m disappointed with Odysee that it’s pretty unusable via Tor.

Edit: once again I tried, I managed to use it for around 5 minutes in Tor. Last month I did 2 tries, the first one had an authentication error after I logged in. In the next day, I managed to log in and use for a minute or two, then having another authentication error.

I guess it’s hit-or-miss.

Non-tracking

Have you even read their terms of use? The only way to earn LBC from them was even to accept an agreement of collecting certain information and they even discouraged you from not giving them data preventing you to do some things.

They have had tracking for a while. They even use the same ad system as p*hub (Traffic Junky), you can see this in uBlock Origin. There’s a frontend for it like Invidious https://codeberg.org/librarian/librarian

I guess it is better to use the LBRY desktop application.

But it is electron

Use https://librarian.bcow.xyz , its an open source javascript free client without any of the tracking things. Well that instance doesn’t seem to work now.

Try https://lbry.itzzen.net/

Here is the source code: https://codeberg.org/librarian/librarian

If its not opensource, they’re just waiting to fuck you

It is FLOSS.
