I'm making a point to not post videos to youtube and instead build up competing sites. Will it result in me reaching less people? Yes, certainly for the time being, will anyone care? Not really I don't have a following on youtube either. But I never intended to become a video creator, though the things that I do make, such as art timelapses, some gaming videos, I have a bunch of stuff recorded that I haven't edited, thats going to be exclusive to Odysee, Rumble and Bitchute.

I simply find big tech's stranglehold on the marketplace in terms of forcing compliance to TOS offsite and appstores removing competing services for made up charges while they are all of themselves guilty of it a billion times over, at the very least I want them to sweat the possibility of a competitor moving in on their disaffected users.

I'm still uploading videos to get them up to date, but if you are interested, I'll have the links here.

Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AverageDog:d
Rumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=all
Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Ijwvw1ihDCEq/

If you want my opinion, Odysee is my favorite, it has the most mainstream content from big names on youtube, will auto upload videos posted to youtube, has the best design, best features and is still its early stages. These kinds of sites have a rough period, it requires users to join and populate it before it can be at a stage that most people want to join in, its a self fulfilling prophecy in my mind to wait for them to have all of the people you want to watch before you watch, thats why I'm going to join and help to build it up. It feels like early youtube to me, where it was more of a wild west, without the heavy hand of corporate meddling making sure its as sanitized as can be for fickle advertisers.

I know I haven't been making much stuff lately, I have been working on things, I do have an almost completed painting, almost completed VR avatar and a few videos, but my vision problem is honestly horrific and I'm as down as ever.

anyway my chicken is done and I'm going to put it in my face. Hope you'll take a look at the platforms and go into it with the right frame of mind about its possibility. If you find users or videos there you dislike, I suggest adding more stuff you prefer to change the atmosphere, thats the beauty of a neutral platform in my mind.
