 Hi, I'm Denchie, and if you've ever been on YouTube for a little bit longer than, I don't know, a month or so, then you've probably become familiar with the fact that it's not exactly a super stable, safe, or free platform. And this exact issue illustrated here in this video that I've made a while ago called, I'm So Tired of This Nonsense, where I talk about how I got a strike for harmful or dangerous content for my video on the YouTube DL software. So this kind of stuff can happen, and it will happen. Why? Because YouTube is owned by Google. We all know how much Google loves manipulating information. Whether you're on the left or the right politically, you've probably been screwed over by YouTube at some point. Why? Because their aim is to be as non-controversial as possible. And regardless of how you are politically, you probably have some controversial opinions that YouTube probably doesn't like. But luckily, because of how corporate YouTube is, a lot of people have been driven to make alternative platforms. And one such platform is Odyssey. Now, longtime viewers of the channel will know that I used to have an LBRY account, which is what Odyssey used to be known as when it was called LBRY.TV. But since around November last year, I've completely reset that and made a new LBRY account, which is now Odyssey. This is linked in the description and on my channel links. You can go and click the little links on the side of my channel or in the description of this video to check this out. You can watch all my videos on here. They're synced from YouTube. So as soon as they come out on YouTube, they also come out on Odyssey. There's no ads. There's no interruptions or anything. You just watch the videos and they work. There's a picture-in-picture player, all these cool features. But I really want to make sure that people know that I have it. Because I have received messages or video comments and stuff telling me, hey, if you keep getting strikes, why don't you look at the site called Odyssey or Bitshoot or BitView or whatever? Like check these out. And I just have to tell them I already have that. And then they're like surprised. Oh, you should tell other people about this. So that's what this video is about. However, you may not be as trustworthy of Odyssey as most people because it is still a large centralized platform. If Odyssey decides to shut down or stops working, then you're essentially screwed. However, the solution to all of this and to people who are very, very, very careful about things like privacy is my self-hosted PureTube instance. So I've also had this for a few months now. It's at videos.dentia.live. So that's the address. That's also linked in the description. And just like the Odyssey, my videos are synced to here. So you can watch all of them over here. But yeah, for most people, I would recommend checking out my Odyssey channel if you don't want to use my YouTube. But this is fine as well. If you want a more privacy-conscious option, it's sort of like the extreme solution to all of these YouTube issues. But anyway, as I said, I'm making this video to tell you that, yeah, this exists. And if you are a YouTuber, if you make videos on YouTube, then you should totally consider syncing over your channel to Odyssey or LLBRY or whatever because it's very, very simple to do. It's super easy to set up and all of that. And it can really pay off in the future. It's not safe for anyone who talks about pretty much anything because YouTube can just change their rules at any point or they can impose rules in a completely different way because they don't like what you're saying. But I don't really have to sit here and rant about how YouTube is bad. There's already a billion, trillion people on YouTube who do that. So I just hope you enjoyed this video. I hope you check out my Odyssey channel. I hope you just check out Odyssey in general and use it more. It's an excellent platform and deserves more users. I've been Denshi. Goodbye.
