    yeah, I fully understand that. I tried it a couple days ago for the first time and I’m still not sure what to make of it. However, I recently opened youtube on freshly installed PC recently and wasnt logged in… oh boy… all the the influencers influencing about nothing… the reaction videos about reaction videos… and why is everyone still poor when there is so much great advice out there to get rich? I hope Odysee allows to ignore all that crap over time… otherwise I wont stick around long either… we’ll see :)

      A feature like “Don’t recommend this channel” that actually worked is all it would take for me. A downvote feature would help keep the crap from being recommended in the first place. Youtube once had both features, fully functional. I don’t know exactly when but they removed those features but kept the facade. Complete fucking assholes.

      As my own bit of disobedience I “watch” muted 4K videos as a screensaver when I’m not at the computer. Of course ublock origin and privacy badger are always running so no ad revenue to them but I abuse their service with max bandwidth use.
