Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it’s looks.
What do you guys think?
Iirc, uploading videos really isn’t an issue.
You find the video you want to upload, choose a thumbnail, choose like 5 tags (because like the federation that’s the main way you find stuff), potentially choose a language, then place down like 0.01 lbry credits or so for it to be uploaded to the block chain & the bittorrent network/lbry’s servers themselves.
FFmpeg is used to convert the video to a more friendly formatting on the client itself right before sending & boom, video is up.
I need to get used to it I think
