    It’s surprisingly good. I made some Linux Korean Keyboard Installation Guides on it and have a few thoughts

    • The LBRY credit system is quite nice
    • It’s not federated like Peertube, but Peertube has a larger host of its own issues they won’t address
    • The UI blows competitors like Peertube, Streamable, etc away
    • The SEO of Odysee is fairly low - the same videos on Youtube appear significantly higher on Google’s front page
    • I’m not sure how LBRY is able to host videos at all, since they’re such huge, expensive pieces of data

    Overall, it checks a lot of boxes for being a solid project. If the company behind it is banking on growing bigger to become sustainable however, I don’t know if that’s going to happen - so for Odysee and LBRY’s sake, it better be profitable now.

    For completion, here’s the worldwide trend for the platform’s popularity:

      I don’t really undertstand how they host the videos either, which makes me a bit sceptical about it
