Odysee only happens for me when I hit 300 subs on YT, which allows me to mirror my channel and content. I’ve already got about a couple of hundred videos made these past few months, and I’m not about to individually upload them all to Odysee. I’m just about halfway there, and I’ll be happy to diversify, but as I said, it will have to wait til I hit the marks. I’ve got no bigger channel shouting me out or shepherding me to monetization by funneling people to my channel. I’m walking and earning every inch by just grinding out videos every day. I’ll get to Odysee, but I need to find some success on YT first.
That means entertaining and earning people’s trust through my videos.
So help there is the best thing anyone can do for me right now.
All the other platforms sucked at mirroring cleanly, so I gave up on them. But Odysee does it well, it just requires 300 subs and an active amount of content.
I’ve been using YT for years, and my world is fine and functioning. Get a VPN and use NoScript. That’s what most people do to keep out unwanted stuff. Even without a VPN, YT isn’t going to hijack your rig. In this day and age, it’s a necessary evil to get shit done. If you are smart and learn the rules of the game, they can’t bother you. Some don’t use YT as a protest against Google and Big Tech, but I don’t have the luxury to be that principled. I have goals and dreams that need to be met, and YT is part of that equation for good or ill. If I’m ever going to get my books out there and fight to create a literary space free of Legacy Publishing Gate Keeping, a successful YT presence is necessary.
As I said, the best help anyone can do if they find my content entertaining is a sub on YT which will only strengthen my base and get me closer to Odysee and beyond.
