This is a good idea, but in my opinion it should happen in a more organized way....

Yeah yeah, there SHOULD be a ton of really neat things, but those things are hard to do, we can't do them, and for some reason no one else seems to be doing them. I stopped thinking in such terms and just started seeing things for how they are and what thing I CAN actually do. It ain't much but it's something and it's at least tangible.

Also we're dealing with something super large and vague, its hard to make a community out of "video sharing". We can multiply in our heads the possibilities for internet communities all we want, or see what good things already exist and supporting and improving those. That's how I see Odysee in this whole picture.

those things about soft transition and not a boycott

think about youtube sync this way: it drains youtube of value. Value is dependent on scarcity, on supply, so when those videos are only on youtube that gives youtube their value. But if they're in 2 places at once you now can choose. Let me illustrate it with 2 examples. I was on Odysee and felt like seeing the anime OP of Girls Last Tour. It wasn't on Odysee, so I went back to youtube. Some months later I was visiting that site again and wanted to see some Elden Ring fight/guide. And I DID found some things so I stayed on Odysee just for a little longer thanks to that. And of course, the videos I saw were youtube mirrors. But they WERE there, and that's what's important.

Odysee-youtube sync takes away the exclusivity from youtube (which directly hurts it) and quickly and conveniently populates Odysee AND decentralizes where those videos can be found.

If we want a shift in consciousness then people like us would have to take on the role of annoying evangelizing spreaders of our ideas.

When I reboot https://rabbithole.wf, I can create a subforum there that's dedicated to this effort, and you can moderate it. Are you interested in that?

If you're fine with a mod that's online like twice a month then sure, lol.

Very well articulated.

I actually thought my post was quite rambly tbh.

And thanks for the channel recommendations. I wonder why they have such similar looking names. I haven't checked out the latter yet, but the former looks solid.

From Uniquenameosaurus just watch these 2

One is mostly about patent law and how it fucks up the life of everyone, the other is a long af video about why he thinks the concept of "intellectual property" is bullshit, why copyright is bullshit, how they lead to abuse, how monetizing creativity can work without copyright and how it's ALREADY been proven to work (he's talking about crowdfunding). I don't exactly agree with everything he says, I think he misses the point that creators themselves treat their creations like property or children and they themselves want to remain in control of those things, with copyright or not. And also the aspect of respecting the creator by not making derivative works of lesser quality. If you ask me I think copyright has a tiny bit of validity. Of course not in the current form, what we have now is insanely corrupt and works directly against everything the original laws were set up for. But my reply is long enough, that's a topic for another time. Oh, also his 2 videos "you SHOULD pirate anime" are great too. They're like prequels to those later ones, he got most of his ideas and motivation from arguing with anti-piracy copyright bootlickers and proving his points by organizing a massively successful crowdfunds thus completely shitting on the copyright loyalists.
