I'll google later, but what's Odysee?
It's like YouTube but the only good content is about Linux. The rest is deplatformed racists.

Well that's not great...
It's a youtube alternative, the best I've used so far. Still need a lot more creators to make the switch or at least mirror, but it's growing slowly.

Odysee is a blockchain-based media platform. We host all kinds of media such as images, articles, PDFs, audio files, etc., but we're best known for hosting videos.
Odysee seeks to recapture the spirit of the 2000s internet. Rather than favoring corporate content such as late night talk shows, network television, and TV news, Odysee is a place for everyone, including independent creators.
Referring to Odysee as "blockchain-based" isn't just sloganeering. All content on Odysee is hosted on the LBRY network, which Odysee then pulls from. For those interested in blockchain, this is really cool. For those who don't know a thing about blockchain, that's totally fine because Odysee requires zero blockchain knowledge to use.
