    Eh… what the hell is that link? The recommended videos on that place are WILD.

    I had heard some rumblings about Rossmann being on some weird alt-right focused service, but I had honestly forgotten and I wasn’t expecting to get a faceful of it by accident. Yikes.

      What’s really wild is that people arguing for things like Right-to-Repair would be anywhere near right-wing to begin with.

      Like, Louis, you don’t see how the entire conservative ideology undermines ideas like right-to-repair? How can you be like “Yeah, I trust these guys who all would shut down the things I’m arguing for,” and just be oblivious to it?

        Louis’s videos are posted to multiple platforms out of principle, not politics… that means they also get posted on sites with creators that have been kicked out of YouTube, like the one linked here

          My principle is I don’t hang out in fucking Nazi spaces.

          Like, I wouldn’t go to a bar that advertised itself as a Nazi bar, and I wouldn’t upload my content to a site like this, that has enough Nazis on it that they’re in the recommended videos for a fucking Louis Rossman video.

          If Louis is happy hanging out at Nazi bars, that’s on him and you can hardly hang that on “principles.”

            Odysee is not a Nazi space. It is a privacy focused decentralized alternative to YouTube.

            The largest group of youtubers on that platform are not the alt-right, but rather, the free and open source software community, privacy and decentralization advocates, and programmers.

              And yet the top suggested videos were about how the Crusades were justified and how cop shootings are justified.

              I would think if the largest community was programmers, those kind of videos would be suggested, not this shit.

              Top suggested videos sadly speaks otherwise about the people on this site.

                You have the same garbage on YouTube but their algorithm hides it from you and shows it to the alt-right. Odysee doesn’t have an algorithm.

                You can’t really have an algorithm and privacy at the same time, so the best you can do here is downvote and block the video/channel.

                With enough downvotes (only around 2 more should be enough ) the video won’t be recommended as much.

                You can see it has one green blob thingy. That’s my downvote. It isn’t a huge platform to begin with so it is not like it takes much to drive out the trash.

                If it violates site policies or law, you can report the video and have it taken down, though it will only be taken down from Odysee, and not on other instances that use the underlying video hosting technology (LBRY)
