So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

Better chance of YT -> Odysee

It might have potential and the video quality is decent, but unless they sort out their banning policy it will only attract nutjobs and all kind of anti[something]ists, [something]phobes… etc.
Reading comment sections is making me puke.

All the crypto crap is not helping as well.
I am prefering paying some money for nebula, which might not have a big creator base but everything I need, sometimes some bonus content and no ads. But this one is not for everyone.

Just for conversations sake, what is Odysee really? I've only heard of it in the context of crypto stuff, but is it selfhostable? A federated video platform that let's you "mine", in the loosest terms, crypto from viewers sounds interesting but I don't know how it actually works.

I'm reading their FAQ here, but I'm still not sure how the money and hosting side works yet https://help.odysee.tv/category-basics/whatisodysee/

Edit: looks like it's at least partially open source, maybe fully. It's centrally-hosted and funded by ads, premium subscriptions, and some sort of crypto scheme that can boost a video's discoverability. I've actually heard of some of the creators though (unlike PeerTube), so that's interesting
