I can’t give more approval for this woman, she handled everything so well.

The backstory is that Cloudflare overhired and wanted to reduce headcount, rightsize, whatever terrible HR wording you choose. Instead of admitting that this was a layoff, which would grant her things like severance and unemployment - they tried to tell her that her performance was lacking.

And for most of us (myself included) we would angrily accept it and trash the company online. Not her, she goes directly against them. It of course doesn’t go anywhere because HR is a bunch of robots with no emotions that just parrot what papa company tells them to, but she still says what all of us wish we did.

(Warning, if you've ever been laid off this is a bit enraging and can bring up some feelings)

Odysee is one of the biggest distributed video hosting platforms, equivalent to PeerTube. It's not sketch, but the embed isn't working for some reason. That is on the instance admin.

I wouldn't expect a website like this to be embedded, not from a url to the page.

The website absolutely is sketchy, there's plenty of dodgy connections eg Facebook and Google. Why use an alternative to YouTube when you're' still connecting to Google??

Some people care more about driving adoption than being a federation absolutist my dude.

If you haven't watched a YouTube video in the last year I'll give you $20.

Again, I ask, what's the point of a YouTube alternative if you're still connecting to Google?

I'm all for driving adoption of alternatives, and I'm not a federation absolutist. My issue here is purely that this site has a lot of scummy connections that it should not have. Why does it include Facebook cookies??
