It doesn’t really need to hit mainstream IMO. It is a good alternative for privacy and decentralization enthusiasts. With an account you’ll mostly be getting videos from channels you subscribe to. It is honestly the first time I found an alt-right video on that platform.
You have the same garbage on YouTube but their algorithm hides it from you and shows it to the alt-right. Odysee doesn’t have an algorithm.
You can’t really have an algorithm and privacy at the same time, so the best you can do here is downvote and block the video/channel.
With enough downvotes (only around 2 more should be enough ) the video won’t be recommended as much.
You can see it has one green blob thingy. That’s my downvote. It isn’t a huge platform to begin with so it is not like it takes much to drive out the trash.
If it violates site policies or law, you can report the video and have it taken down, though it will only be taken down from Odysee, and not on other instances that use the underlying video hosting technology (LBRY)
It doesn’t mine crypto in the background. The hosts mine the crypto, and you get some rewards from watching. If you collect enough, you can donate it to your favorite channel which earns them money. It is like Reddit gold but actually useful.
Also, it is somewhat federated. The underlying blockchain containing video metadata is decentralized and used as thread between federated instances. Odysee is one of those instances, and they can block and ban users and videos from showing up on their instance, just like Lemmy.
In other words, you can make an Odysee alternative with the same videos but filtered to your liking.
Odysee is not a Nazi space. It is a privacy focused decentralized alternative to YouTube.
The largest group of youtubers on that platform are not the alt-right, but rather, the free and open source software community, privacy and decentralization advocates, and programmers.
It is not an alt-right service. It doesn’t show recommendations based on data collected about you, and instead shows subscriptions, and top viewed videos with similar titles to the video you’re watching.
Both videos containing the word “justified” is probably the reason. Odysee is in my opinion what YouTube should have been.
The danger of using the same password everywhere is from leaks caused by poor security in one of those sites.
Passwords getting leaked are almost always unrelated to how strong the passwords are and has more to do with how those password are stored, and what protection measures they have against unauthorized people accessing them.
No one is ever going to “crack” your single password for your password manager as long as it is a strong password, though you might write it down in your wallet and lose it in a busy station, just like some administrator of a website might forget to close outside access to their mysql database containing unencrypted plaintext passwords.
Publishers who do this make shit games anyway. I see the publishers slowly fading while indie studios continue to shape the new standard of video games.
