What video platforms do you use?

I use YouTube (YT) and Facebook (FB). I watch video content on FB, YT, and also on Vimeo. I also occasionally share videos on YT and FB. I haven't yet started publishing regular video content.

  • Users can monetize content on YT, FB, and Vimeo. It is possible on many other platforms, such as Ramble, BitChute, etc.

  • Nobody talks about the contribution of the consumers, as if consumers will be obliged to consume content!

  • In most content publishing platforms, consumers/viewers/readers are taken for granted that they will anyway consume the content!

Consumers only have the option of consuming. They don't have any earning opportunities on FB, YT, Vimeo, etc. I think the consumers also should get something for spending their valuable time currency on consuming content.

One can, of course, consume video content on these platforms without creating any account. Then, you don't have the power of clicking the "Like" button and write comments.


I use Odysee as my default video content publishing platform.

What is Odysee? The website of Odysee is Odysee-dot-Com.

Odysee-dot-Com is a freedom-oriented and relatively new video content publishing and sharing platform by the team behind the Lbry (pronounced “library”) blockchain protocol.

  • Odysee is free. Both YT, FB, and Vimeo are also free.

  • Then, why do I adopt Odysee as my default video content publishing platform?

Is there any feature that is special on Odysee, or which is not available on YT, FB, and Vimeo?

  • Users get several advantages on Odysee.


What is special about Odysee?

  • Creators don’t need to have a minimum number of followers to have their custom channel name. On Odysee, users can have a custom name for their channel with zero followers.

  • Creators don’t need to have a minimum number of followers, and viewing hours to monetize their channel. Any verified Odysee user can monetize their channels. Earning on Odysee can be in Lbry coin or LBC, as well as fiat dollars.

  • The verified users of Odysee decide the price/value of their video content. It can be set to zero (free) or any suitable value decided by the creators.

  • If you have a verified Odysee account, you can receive LBC and dollar rewards. The viewers can directly upvote tips any amount to the creators.

  • Every verified Odysee user gets a random LBRY Credit or LBC coin (minimum 0.25 LBC) as a reward for consuming at least three times a week.

  • Creators can publish content in multiple formats, such as text blogs, images, PDF, audio, and video.

  • When a creator publishes content on Odysee, it executes a blockchain transaction and consumes some resources in the network which takes a mandatory fee in LBRY. The minimum fee is 0.01 LBC. Creators can stake more LBC as fees to have their content featured at the top of the page.

  • Creators don’t need to have a minimum number of followers for live video/audio streaming of their content.

  • Creators have the freedom to have their opinions on their video content. The Odysee admin doesn’t control, edit, or delete your content or channel unless the content directly harms society, which is an act of crime.

You may check a sample of a text blog published on Odysee.

You may check the embedded sample video below:

Sample Odysee Video


Then, why do I continue to use YouTube and Facebook?

  • I use Facebook, YouTube, and other mainstream content publishing platforms for promo purposes only.

  • There is a large audience on those platforms. They are useful to share your content published on your website and crypto-content publishing platforms.

FB, YT., and other mainstream platforms may still be used to promo the content (say, 1-minute clip of your vlog) and direct the consumers to your preferred freedom-oriented and decentralized media platforms, such as Odysee.


Conclusion

  • Odysee-dot-Com is a relatively new video content publishing and sharing platform.

  • Odysee-dot-Com is managed and run by the team behind the Lbry (pronounced “library”) blockchain protocol built on a decentralized, blockchain-based computational network infrastructure.

  • Odysee-dot-Com is a true freedom-oriented video content platform for the Internet users of the world.

  • On Odysee-dot-Com, creators can publish content in multiple formats, such as text blogs, images, audio, and videos.

  • All verified users of Odysee-dot-Com can monetize content published.

  • All verified users of Odysee-dot-Com can earn a token amount of LBC coin for regular consumption of content published by fellow creators.

I'm happy to hear you say this. I do the same. Odysee is so much better than YouTube already and long term with it's decentralized back-end makes it very robust. It's good to support the right technologies!

What is your Odysee channel?

Yes, it's a great platform I worked a lot there. But later they gave the verification option and that's not run in my country now. It's not verified in my country. I wish it works in my country too.

You are probably incorrect. One can verify Odysee in any part of the world through discord. Check it and follow the instruction there. It is rather strict. You complete the process and wait patiently and continue to log in for a few weeks. If you complete the process of verification and don't log in regularly, you won't be verified.

If you send a request message for verification help to the discord group, you may be permanently blocked.

I could verify it from India via discord. It took almost three weeks to get verification.

Phone verification is available only in the US.

Awww thank you so much. If it works then it will be too good for me. Let me try again. Do you have any telegram account? Because if I face any problem then I'll contact you there.

The process seems straightforward but takes a little time. You need to continue to log in and use the platform. Click to verify and go through the discord guideline. You will need one social media account information, such as your Twitter account, to verify your identity.

I will try to write a verification process here.

If you wish you can connect with me on LinkedIn and Twitter. I don't log in to Telegram often.

I use Odysee since September 2020 I liked a lot and I thought it could be a very successful plataform, but I don't know... lately it's getting a bit worse, some people talk about a bit of censorship too, less income, the LBC, etc... Hope it will grow more!

In the beginning, every platform tries to give more so as to attract more and more people. Earlier there was a tipping bot called "WhaleBot" which used to upvote 999 LBC to highly engaging content. They used to reward every day for consuming content. All these are reduced now. Still, it is attractive to the content creators as well as the consumers. I see most top YouTubers either synced or migrated to Odysee. Some of the commercial FM radio stations in India also synced their YouTube channels with Odysee.

That's true... I still use it and some alternative information programs are both on Youtube and now on Odysee too, as a backup or a second option due to the strong censorship on Youtube and mass social media networks.

I had heard about Odysee, but I am not a person who watches a lot of videos, I really watch few and most of them are on facebook or youtube. It would be nice when I have internet again to be able to watch your videos and check better how Odysee works.

Odysee existed since 2015 as a blockchain-based open source video sharing platform of LBRY TV and started to be a separate company on October 1, 2021.

Create and verify your Odysee account. Post your content on YouTube as well as Odysee. It may take additional few minutes to post the content on Odysee. Share them on social media. You will grow both simultaneously without any additional work.

Once I have made Odyssey account but still I have not uploaded anything because its verification in my country was not allowed. Now I am hopeful for everything.

You are not correct. Odysee can be verified through Dischord ANYWHERE in the world. After following the steps, one must continue using it for about two weeks, after which the account gets verified! I have done it from India.

Verification by phone is available only in the US.
