There's creators out there running a non YouTube channel in parallel, mostly on Odysee. Good to see an alternative out there.

    I just looked up Odysee. They use Google AdSense on their site, so really all you’re getting is a bad YouTube

    Right enough. They're also owned by Google! Probably not a good alternative then. PeerTube any good?
