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.
