MODERATORS
This is kind of a complicated issue. We haven't figured out federated video yet. Hosting is expensive, and instances are unreliable, search is abysmal. If you happen to already know a creator that uses peer tube, it's easy enough to follow them, but like a lot of the fetaverse, discoverability is low.
Odysee bridges that gap between giant, centralized video hosting behemoth Google/YouTube and truly free video hosting.
There are a lot of creators who have ideological aversion to being hosted on YouTube, Which includes a lot of FOSS and privacy people like Louis Rossmann or Naomi Brockwell. It also means unfortunately that there are some people who leave mainstream services because their ideas are so repugnant, that they get banned.
Anyway, here are the official community guidelines from their website.
I am no content creator but i do occasionally make videos that i want to share.
I am therefore not bound to youtube but i can't use odysee because the recommended videos are clearly racicst. I share a video about goldfish and odysee recommend. Videos about why 'white is better' or 'what i love about Hitlers'... after a talk in the community's discord i realised that it was not a place for me to be in
