I almost got a heart attack. It is not developed by Justine Sun. Probably you confuse something! Odysee is a video platform based on LBRY (Blockchain + Bittorent based) AND Odyssey is some Bullshit by Justin Sun. So you are fine, you can use it without feeling guilty! :D
Odysee grew organically because of censorship-tube! And it is interesting to hear that they now make advertisement. They are a fantastic project and you are right, Hive needs more exposure. But attention and Exposure AND advertisement are not the same. Frist you need attention - the biggest things on the web had NO advertisement at all. Think of the Cicada riddle which was a "please do not share and do not cooperate" campaign and what were people doing? Ofcourse the shared it. "Hey here look at me I know something" - this is called karma whoring on reddit and it works. Everyone wants to propagate something "secret" first. Pumping a few thousand dollar into Facebook adds will not bring the effect, but hey, they will do it anyways.
yes i was like "fuck he bought that too?" and started searching. but no looks like he did not :D
Glad you clarified that LBRY’s Odysee does not involve the Sun devil.
I almost had a heart attack too when I read this.
