Too much of a Nazi bar problem or a decent YouTube alternative? Thinly veiled American capitalism or respectable if not entirely unproblematic attempt at disturbing the monopoly?

Yes I am very knowingly and purposefully asking how “we” feel about it.

    We don’t know each other, right? So, all I can say is that I have no opinion about Odysee as I barely know them as an alternative to YT.

    Also, I don’t want to consider hearsay or rumors a trustworthy source of info to make my opinion on anything, or anyone.

      You never read reviews on movies, products?

      While that’s a fair moral goal, it’s practically impossible. We are an information-sharing species. If you refuse to factor in reputation (which is just aggregated hearsay), you’re essentially choosing to ignore the early warning system that human society has used for thousands of years to stay safe. The trick isn’t to ignore gossip - it’s to learn how to vet the quality of it.

        I may have missed something important here so I’ll reformulate my previous comment: I don’t see any ‘we’ in answering a question. Not anymore than there would be any ‘us’ between I and some stranger asking me direction on the streets. I will happily reply to the best of my knowledge, that is all.

        Thx a lot for explaining what my life is, and what you think it should be, based on such a careful study as a careless reading of one single comment. Rather impressive if a a bit… quick.

        Once again, thx a lot and have the most wonderful day.

          You volunteered a pretty absolute statement and I responded accordingly. OP asked “we”, you reject the “we” and answer anyway, with a side order of sneering.
