David Duke, former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, frequently posts videos on a website called Odysee. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones also streams his podcast, “The Alex Jones Show,” on the site. It works a lot like YouTube and attracts millions of views each month.
Anti-hate groups say the site is a hotbed of extremism where users from around the world — including promoters of U.S.-designated terrorist group the Nordic Resistance Movement, Holocaust deniers and Proud Boys supporters — use Odysee’s data storage and financial features to spread their views and raise money. Users also take advantage of the forum’s near complete lack of content moderation. The site’s CEO said he’s dedicated to keeping the company “censorship resistant.”
The site also comes with strong New England ties. Odysee was created by a now-defunct New Hampshire cryptocurrency company and began with seed money from a downtown Boston-based venture capital firm called Pillar VC, financed by a diverse constellation of local investors.

Do you know how much it would cost him to host his stuff. He would have to do it instead of his business. Hosting video is not a simple thing. YOU pay for the bandwidth for every user that streams or downloads you video, unless you want him to cut his reach by a 3/4 and host it by torrent. And that is just the video… push notices for new videos because he is not on a broad platform for discoverability, which would also mean he would have to spend allot of time advertising his content… It just doesn’t stop.
And that is if he would be OK with most enterprise models on serving his content, which we both know he isn’t.
oh yah, self hosting is very expensive.
he should put his money where his mouth is, get off his armchair, and do it.
So he should personally fund the right to repair fight AND host his own videos because you want him too? Spoiled brat much. Welcome to the Blocklist Enjoy your stay.
