I just started using Odysee(based on/connected with lbry) and I
must say while it obviously doesn't compete in terms of content
and the front page suggests it's a popular location for
conspiracy nuts you can actually find a lot of well-known
YouTube channels on there.
In fact I'm pretty certain that if this continues it'll be able
to compete with YouTube in the long run; mainly because content
creators can just upload everything to both platforms for a
chance to reach a larger audience and at the same time have a
"backup" in case Google bans their account for a random reason.
I've seen multiple channels either moving completely to lbry or
just mentioning it in their YouTube videos with the hint that
the other platform also has their videos but without ads.
Considering YouTube has a terrible reputation when it comes to
their weird content filtering, monetization rules and completely
broken copyright strike system it might not need a huge push to
get some momentum.
