Odysee is My Default Video Platform
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.

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.

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!
