Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it’s looks.

What do you guys think?

    But the fact it is filled by nazis and the comment section is just swarming with antisemitism

    ahh man, I know what you mean, but I generally don’t go there for politics. There are some educational videos and some really good creators who post in parallel with YT (Vertasium for ex) and I think they are lovely.

      Sorry, but “nazis and antisemitism” is not politics. It is racism. Saying something like this is nazi-speech one should not repeat

        If you are talking about actual Nazis, well, I agree completely.

        Saying something like what?

          “Nazis is politics” is here in germany often used in a paraphrased way by far right people to justify their point of view, since nazi symbols and thing like that are forbidden by law.

          By adopting such prases, even if unintentionally, one reproduces and legitimates such thinking.

        Nazism stands for National Socialism - it’s a political ideology, so definitely politics.

      You don’t have to go for the fascism, racism, and disinformation. By shear quantity alone, they’ll be in your next 2-3 videos if you let it autoplay the next recommended video.

      I haven’t found a reliable way to just play my followed channels without manually making a queue of videos.

        Why would you auto play and not just pick the videos you want to watch? I used to use odysee and I almost never saw racist videos. The comment section on the other hand was a cesspit. I believe you can actually pick what comment section you want and use comments from matador or something else.
