It's sad that both 3speak and Odysee aren't up to snuff. I have no experience posting reports on these platforms, sticking to blogging on Hive, but in terms of consuming content in video form I have preferred Odysee to any alternatives. 3speak was native to Hive, which reduced the need to click and load links, so I liked that option when it was available. I prefer to avoid the 'tube and Rumble when I can, the 'tube for surveillance reasons and Rumble because of its UI. Vids on Substack don't have a mechanism to set audio output, which I find barely tolerable, but of the options you have available I will choose Substack every time. I gave up on the 'tube when Goolag stole my nick and took my gmail, and that was before they changed their mission from 'Don't be evil' to 'Be as evil as possible', and now I'm glad all it cost me was the best nick on the webz to avoid Goolag like the plague.
To address the Health Ranger's comment, half of people are below average IQ, and there's a significant number of people well below that. There's a lot of stupid people, and that's all politicians need to cover themselves with a veneer of popular support - until enough people have had enough of their shit and move to kick it in. Then the majority matters, but that doesn't happen until peoples' kids go hungry, and that will not happen for a couple more weeks in the US, at least.
I absolutely agree with everything you said about our peerless leader (and David Draiman), but would probably go farther.
Thanks!
The problem is, all my YouTube accounts are auto synced to the Odysee account which is broken i.e., https://odysee.com/the-outer-light-news-roundup:b - and only one YouTube account will sync to Odysee out of maybe 3 I have signed up there to sync - The Outer Light is the only one that works - but it is syncing to an anon account - Odysee will not let me remove any other YouTube account i have setup to sync, none of which work - but it holds them and won't let me use them with another Odysee account i.e., I cannot sign up to Odysee with another account or YouTube account because it says, correctly, that it is already synced - it's like a type of maze that goes around and around. Odysee is a good site, I don't think they are doing it on purpose, but I seem to have run into a strange self looping bug.
I don't like Rumble either - if I did not have a few subs there, i would just delete it - 3Speak has something bugged about it for me - but it might be fixed, for the next video I'll try it again.
About Substack, I wish they just let people download the videos, that was the impression i was under when I fist made an account there. I know Odysee had that ability. I was thinking or starting up my old website and putting them there - but every-time I have had it up, it got bot attacked.
About Health Ranger, you make a good point. That part of "the veneer of popular support", is very true. That is, really all it takes really. What a state the world is in.
Thanks!
Have you reached out to support at Odysee? Whenever I did reach out to them I got human replies within 24 hours. Quite strange they have such responsive tech support, rally.
Yeah, I will check this out - about 3speak though, this is the error I get - as you can see, I am logged into the same site they tell me to go to - so same bug for me, my guess is they will solve it in time maybe but can't upload there atm -
How frustrating. I reached out to Theycallmedan regarding ArcHive not working properly, was told it was fixed, and found it was still not working. I realize he's suffering medical issues and learning to code as he goes, and can only hope he manages to live and eventually gets around to fixing things that aren't working.
i think maybe in time, it will be fixed - that is what seems to happen. And I guess it would be hard, if you were not well - I will see if I can find another solution in the meantime. It would be good to have like a download feature, like on Odysee, which was good while it lasted.
I am very sad about the present state of Odysee. They've recently made some changes to how the UI works for me, and I don't like any of them. For example, @skycorridors recently posted regarding the Surveillance Accountability Act, which she has been instrumental in drafting and getting proposed. She posted an Odysee video, and I follow her on Odysee, so I should have seen that video in my feed, but it's not there. I have to follow the link from her post on Hive to see the video. It's critically important and the difference between utterly oppressive tyranny and people still retaining some freedom, and Odysee is failing me when I seek to remain up to speed on these issues.
All this is to say that I understand why Odysee can't meet your needs, as sad as that makes me.
