Right on! Spread the word.
I've been encouraging everyone I know to de-google and eliminate or minimize reliance on other unsavory big tech players as much as possible. It's an uphill battle, but I've made steady progress with most of them through persistence and assistance with suggestions and support.
And still learning a lot and trying to form better habits myself as well.
The more knowledge and resources available to help with that message the better.
Thanks for your time, yes we are creating a video platform independent of youtube front ends. Odysee asks for ID on sign-up so that's out too
Excellent to hear you are creating a new video platform without reliance on google/youtube. I've been trying to switch to odysee and others but still fall back ocassionally on NewPipe and Invidious and other services that rely on youtube when I can't find what I'm after elsewhere.
I also only use Odysee as a viewer not a content creator so did not realize ID was required on signup.
Will this new video platform you are working on be decentralized? I understand LBRY got targeted pretty hard in the larger crypto crackdowns and other video streaming alternatives have faced challenges and pressures in the market, legally and otherwise.
I'd hate to see another great centralized alternative get built up and gain traction and user adoption only to be torn down later on.
We need to go back to torrents so bad.. Torrenting had solved the question of sharing video files some time ago.
Bonus points for i2p + torrenting. Qbittorrent v4.6rc has i2p integration baked in.
