I just looked up Odysee. They use Google AdSense on their site, so really all you’re getting is a bad YouTube

Right enough. They're also owned by Google! Probably not a good alternative then. PeerTube any good?

I’ve heard of PeerTube, but haven’t looked into it yet

Fwiw, Google doesn’t own Odysee https://twitter.com/LBRYcom/status/1321862776780980225
