Video won't load for me, website seems dodgy so I'm not going to bend over backwards to make it work.
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??
