I am suspicious of sites like Odysee and Rumble that monetize uploads. The fair use of copyrighted material rules are very much about non profit use. If you use any copyrighted video in your upload and you profit from it you can't claim fair use.

On top of that Odysee demands your phone number before you can receive their crypto currency which you need because you also get charged a fee for each upload.

    I agree: gvid is a good host

    x0x7 6 insightful - 4 fun - 14 hours ago Can't profit from it.

    That is untrue. Look at Family Guy's use of Mickey Mouse under fair use. Do you think they profited zero from that episode just to include that one clip?

    I am going to self plug though. If you want above 720p video and no-monetization, gvid.tv has you covered.

    I meant if the copyright owner decided to sue. You would be on shakey ground in court if you tried to claim fair use if you profit from it.

    Odysee hosts the videos on a distributed ledger or something like that. You don't pay "just" to upload video, but also for the uncensorability of said video. That's nothing to spit on.
