ODYSEE IS NOT OWNED BY GOOGLE Some of you may have done some searches on the web and realized that Google bought a company called "Odysee" seven years ago, along with the Odysee.com name that THAT company also owned. That company was quickly dismantled and hasn't existed since 2015. The domain odysee.com then became available again and a couple of years ago, the LBRY company bought the domain and created Odysee.com. Google has absolutely nothing to do with LBRY or the Odysee site.

There was a recent case where an Anime KZreadr had 150 of his videos deleted, because one anime studio really did not understand the concept of fair use. After some back and forth, with the help of someone in YT, they eventually got it to where his content would be blocked in Japan.

Fair Use gets soooo many channels in trouble. It's the reason I rarely include video that I don't own in my videos, and I never include music that's not mine unless it's CC. It's just not worth the headache of constantly having my videos demonetized due to background music.

I really can't wait for youtube to have competition. KZread literally has commercials now--not ads, Sometimes whole 2 hour movies. But what really upsets me are the copyright issues and random bans/rules for people. I can't count how many times my favorite creators get their channel deleted or banned, then only after a huge uproar by viewers do their channels come back. It's not healthy to live in a constant fear that your channel is at risk because a couple videos uploaded years ago fits some sort of new rule or fits some sort of 1 second copyright claim that you can't resolve because its both frivolous and you are pleading to robots that default to the claimant.

Disney for instance definitely don't care if they go broke as long as they can show how woke they are. KZread the same. Women singing about their pussies is in fact woke because children are influenced to think about sex, grooming children is woke, it may also be profitable but that's no longer what corporations are interested in. They want to promote all the left wing values or at least the trendy ones we have now.

The key to that issue is solidarity amongst content creators. If you organise yourself and put another platform on the map, It will only be a matter of time until YT comes to the table for discussion. If they want dictatorship, let's give it to them

My best suggestion is upload to multiple platforms like your Facebook page, Instagram Reels, Rumble, Pateron, your own WordPress site and so forth. The more you diversify, then the better you're off. So the real issue is not diversifying your content on several platforms 🤔 and backing up your videos on your own cloud base system or systems. If you're looking for ad revenue or sponsorship, then add them and get the checks directly. Is this extra work? Well it depends if you know software programs that can help automate this for you like IFTTT 👍🏾😁💡

It also shitty how they are starting to do things behind your back like like the whole shorts thing where they automatically checked everyone's videos and continue to mark the box when you upload that allows people to use and make money off your content unless you uncheck it!! I agree as well.

Big issue on social media are also the mods who put in their own politics instead of doing their jobs unbiased. That's why we need Odysee so we can speak freely without being censored. KZread could have build a block function along time ago so people don't have to see what they don't want, but they want to keep pushing the moneymaking (ad selling) channels in your face, even when you don't want it. Thankfully Odysee has that functionality and therefor nobody has to be bullied, just block on move on :) Another thing I've noticed is that all these people who fear freedom of speech have dictator tendencies, scary people who see themselves as the good ones..

Oh wow odysee has improved a lot. They have finally released the app. 🙂

Do note that Odysee doesn't automatically import videos longer than 2 hours. I watch a youtuber who stops the livestreams before the 2 hours mark, so they get imported automatically to Odysee, and sometimes starts a part-2 livestream around 5 minutes later, to continue while still getting that content imported to Odysee.

Never heard of Odysee. Just installed it and will be checking it out , Thanks.

I got my channel deleted too while not even violating terms of service, appealing did nothing. KZread really needs to do better on this one otherwise creators will eventually go away.

Right now, it is kind of like the chicken or the egg. Content creators post on KZread because viewers flock to KZread but viewers flock to KZread because us content creators post on KZread. What it would take is just to take chances and switch to platforms that we have faith in which will cause more people to come over due to their favorite creators being on that new platform. There also isn't really and good alternative either. Yeah there is Odysee but if everybody switches to Odysee, then we would pretty much be in the same situation that we are in now.

LBRY is a peer-to-peer video platform, so there are no central servers and anyone can create their own front end as competition to Odysee with the same content on it. That makes almost impossible for people to be banned from LBRY.

KZread is a monopsony, not a monopoly.

Great video, I just wanted to ask is it possible to upload a video onto KZread then to Odysee ?

Yes... they are. When KZread implodes upon itself with it's double standards and hypocricy... there are several choices of platform and multiple income advantages available, they pay more than KZread percentage wise and the content ownership is retained by the creator if I am correct about the legalities of it...

Hey DT! Just wanted to say that this is a great video with the new odysee app that launched a couple days ago, great work!

I've found with KZread of late they are not showing all the sites I set up for notification of new vids. It is like they are censoring what I can watch now!

I subscribe to a channel that creates meditation music & he was shut down by KZread for supposedly using someone else's content. He had a video posted at least a few months before the shutdown that showed is studio & everything he does to create the music. He wasn't even using stock footage, but actually going out & filming ocean waves, nature scenes, etc. Proved it was all his own content & they either didn't see that video or just didn't care. Dude was terrified because he said his videos had become his sole source of income & he had a wife & little baby to think about. It took thousands of us complaining & mentioning that "how I do it" video before he finally got his channel back. Ya we need to start supporting other platforms because this is ridiculous.

Bless the day I found your channel and subscribed.

I´ve had videos blocked by YT just because where i was shooting out in a particular street, there was a copyrighted music playing out loud somewhere....this is outrageous.

Thanks for bringing this up I didn't know until you spoke about it Now I sign up onto Odyssey and consume content on both platforms.

never heard of this, thanks for pointing it out

Rumble is where freedom loving patriots are. It's perfect for FOSS. Also the t-shirt I bought has holes in it after 3 weeks of use. Not sure where I should have said that. I like the coffee mugs. Thanks for all the instruction on Linux.

Odysee is pretty great. It DOES have some limitations. First, unless your channel is fairly large -- I forget how many subs, but if its a new channel you can't automatically sync content. Bummer. Second, the video quality is very limited. I make VR gaming vids, and I need to render different versions that don't look nearly as good -- bearing in mind that VR videos have a LOT of motion and need a very high bitrate to look clear. Still, Odysee is a realistic alternative, even if it still needs a lot of work for certain kinds of content like mine.

Yeah hopefully it will be evolved into a powerful competitor to KZread

Thank you for making the video I just created my account for my reaction KZread channel, I love how they allow you to sync it with your KZread channel so you don’t have to reupload everything. But it seems really dope I am very excited that there is finally a platform like this!

What I love about odysee is that they have successfully manage to charge the content creator to provide content. So first you spend a huge amount of time making your video, knowing that its viral success is a total gamble, then you offer it to a platform that is only alive because you provide them content but now you also have to give them money in exchange for helping them exist

Maybe a solution is to have a fee for creators to use KZread to host content. However, if KZread charges a fee, it would exempt that creator from the rules they have in place for the free to post content. By paying a fee, the creator would retain control/ownership of their channel and agrees to be responsible/accountable for all their posts.

Yes that would be great

I've been on odysee for years and it's great that my content is backed up somewhere else.

The companies act like their corporate policies are the law of the land.

Really great video. I have been commenting on people's videos whose channels got banned at least once by KZread to use Odysee for at least last 2 years now. With your video I can directly point them to this video without me having to type all the advantages they can have in the comments for them to skip after looking at the size of the comment. Thank You.

Hey! I'm pretty new to content creation (as you can tell by my quality over time), and have been thinking about expanding my platforms as a way to motivate me to do all this more. Would you say, if I'm new to content creation, that Odysee would be a good place to start in tandem with my Twitch and KZread-imported videos?

I've been thinking about this for awhile...a good alternative to KZread. Maybe I'll leave to check into Odysse a bit more to see the overall content to see what I can find of value.

100% agreed, Derek. Keep this coming.

😭😭😭I've never heard of O until you mentioned it. I have heard of Rumble and Locals however. Great push

8:03 "but you don't get recommended that stuff anymore..." Maybe YOU don't, but I get them every time. I practically never get recommended big music or movie channels. It's based on what you typically watch.

To give Odysee the traction it needs, big and small channels like this, LTT, Fireship and so on, should educate their viewers about the downsides of YT and the different alternatives that exist out there. That way, we can reach more people, and LBC crypto is one of the few that I have seen that has an actual real-world use case.

Thank You! 😀👍👍✌️

Just logged into Odysee - forgot I had setup on there, likely at your past suggestion? I setup notifications so I can see the videos from the people in KZread jail. Great tip!

Every vid hosting site gets Eaten alive by the Cat Vid problem, sooner or later. The Problem is People think they should make money from this Crap.

Recently I had my first strike on YT for something that was talked many times. Somehow my video is dangerous but for other channels is ok. I appealed and almost instantly I've got Yeap it's dangerous. Weirdly fast that was.

Fabulous mike setup. Great sound. What are you using if you don't mind me asking.

Got warning then a strike with 2 videos taken down for breaking youtube policy. The videos were FIFA 23 gameplay

Wow, there's someone else out there who refuses to allow tv in the home! Good for you!!!
