Salty is the main reason why my friend and I started channels on Odysee. Rumble is alright, but it is 99% politics. Odysee, OTOH, is built off the LIBRY foundation and appeals to a broader base. There's gaming, entertainment, travel, the Linux scene, etc.
I like Odysee a lot, but here's the main problem with the platform: THE META TAGS ARE USELESS! Let's say you do a video about this second Trump assassination attempt and the video is called, "Uh oh! It happened again!" You put the meta tags Trump, Trump assassination, shitlibs, etc. (You're limited to only 5 meta tags, which is also gay.) When the video gets uploaded, the recommendations on the side are just of other videos containing "uh oh" and "it happened again," so instead of seeing MOAR videos regarding the assassination attempt on the golf course, you get a video recommendation about someone's dog puking on the carpet, grandma locking her keys in the car, or what have you.
I emailed Odysee and told them exactly this problem. Their meta tags are useless and even searching for specific meta tags results in nothing. I was assured that this would be implemented in the next build for the site, but meta tags should have been working from the beginning. That's crap.
Furthermore, even though the site has categories, you cannot choose the category you want your video to fall under, unlike YouTube. I like Odysee a lot, but if they cannot help creators get the viewership they deserve, people will give up on the platform.
Unfortunately, odysee is under assault and has been dying since "The Salty Cracker" took a rumble exclusive bribe.
Salty still does half his show on Odyssey...half on utubes is assho too
