Excellent to hear you are creating a new video platform without reliance on google/youtube. I’ve been trying to switch to odysee and others but still fall back ocassionally on NewPipe and Invidious and other services that rely on youtube when I can’t find what I’m after elsewhere.

I also only use Odysee as a viewer not a content creator so did not realize ID was required on signup.

Will this new video platform you are working on be decentralized? I understand LBRY got targeted pretty hard in the larger crypto crackdowns and other video streaming alternatives have faced challenges and pressures in the market, legally and otherwise.

I’d hate to see another great centralized alternative get built up and gain traction and user adoption only to be torn down later on.
