Odysee has overtaken BitChute as the best competitor to YouTube. It is a decentralized, blockchain-based online video platform based on the LBRY hosting platform. The videos tend to load much better than BitChute, and the content is much more diverse, at least when compared to BitChute’s trending content that tends toward more extreme free speech …

YouTube Report
YouTube remains the go-to online video platform and the second-largest search engine (specializing in video content), owned by Google. Videos on YouTube show up in Google’s search results, and many searchers prefer video over reading website or blog content. Video is essential to most SEO, content marketing, and social media marketing strategies. Publishing and distributing …
Pinterest Report
Pinterest is great for sharing, or “pinning” infographics, articles, and videos, which essentially distributes them among different channels seeking relevant links and visual-based media content. Pinterest now has a native video feature that is still in its infancy, but look for that to potentially become stronger and more prominent in the future. Pinning videos is …
Instagram Report
When Instagram first debuted, it was essentially a glamorized mobile-based poor-millenial’s PhotoShop, allowing “filters” to be applied to square photographs before being shared with other users. Its interface was very unintuitive, and its focus on images instead of text posts left a lot to be desired by users that want to communicate on the platform …
BitChute Report
BITCHUTE.COM If you are looking for the best Alt-Tech parallel to YouTube, look at Odysee. BitChute used to be the top contender, but at the time of writing their “edgy” content that would be hidden by the YouTube algorgithm or outright banned/deplatformed tends to dominate the experience. To their credit, BitChute is allowing its users …
Gab Report
GAB.COM Whereas Gab.com has suffered coordinated media attacks from the lying fakestream media companies to which they are a threat, Gab.com is essentially the free-speech version of Twitter. (Twitter, you may recall, initially took the previously unheard-of step of permanently banneing Milo Yiannopoulous in 2015… Since then, Twitter has accelerated its banning and shadow-banning behavior …
Minds.com Report
MINDS.COM Minds.com functions similarly to Facebook, though it also serves as a blog publishing and discovery platform. The video feature is being improved, and there is gamification of engagement such that you earn points for your actions on the platform that help to grow it. Minds.com is very free-speech oriented and against the heavy-handed censorship …
DuckDuckGo Report
DUCKDUCKGO.COM DuckDuckGo.com is a search engine (alternative to Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc) that does not store any of your information and claims to present non-biased search results. Privacy is considered paramount. It is notable, however, that many of the DuckDuckGo search results seem about as PC-biased and cyberturfed as Google’s search results… Whether DuckDuckGo is …
Brave Browser Report
BRAVE BROWSER Brave is an internet browser similar to Chrome or Firefox, but with more privacy (not owned by Google like Chrome is, and not working with George Soros like Firefox’s parent company Mozilla is!). Brave also offers more features, including the ability to read TOR websites. TOR is expected to become increasingly important as …
The Gervais Principle PART 6 – Children of an Absent God
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2013/05/16/the-gervais-principle-vi-children-of-an-absent-god/ By Venkatesh Rao And so here we are, ready for an assault on our Everest: the mind that lies behind the low-reactor Sociopath face. A face that gazes upon the worlds of Losers and the Clueless with divine inscrutability. It’s certainly been a long climb. With the resurrection of David Wallace and the ascent …
The Gervais Principle PART 5 – Heads I Win, Tails You Lose
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2011/10/14/the-gervais-principle-v-heads-i-win-tails-you-lose/ By Venkatesh Rao At the heart of all tragedy, the Greeks saw a phenomenon they called hamartia: a fatal error born of unavoidable ignorance. Combined with a fundamental moral flaw, hamartia inevitably led on to destruction. For the Greeks, humans were cursed not just with mortality of the flesh, but also hamartia-driven mortality of …
The Gervais Principle PART 4 – Wonderful Human Beings
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/10/14/the-gervais-principle-iv-wonderful-human-beings/ By Venkatesh Rao Each of them – and they constitute 80% of humanity – is born the most beautiful baby in the world. Each is an above-average child; in fact the entire 80% is in the top 20% of human beings (it’s crowded up there). Each grows up knowing that he or she is …
The Gervais Principle PART 3 – The Curse of Development
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/04/14/the-gervais-principle-iii-the-curse-of-development/ By Venkatesh Rao In the first two parts of this series, we talked about the archetypes that inhabit organizations (Sociopaths, Losers, Clueless), what they do (the Gervais Principle) and how (the four languages). In this part, we’ll use a somewhat unorthodox take on the idea of arrested development to explain why the three groups …
The Gervais Principle PART 2 – Posturetalk, Powertalk, Babytalk, and Gametalk
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/11/11/the-gervais-principle-ii-posturetalk-powertalk-babytalk-and-gametalk/ By Venkatesh Rao We began this analysis of corporate life by exploring a theoretical construct (the Gervais Principle) through the character arcs of Michael and Ryan in The Office. The construct and examples provide a broad-strokes treatment of the why of the power dynamics among Sociopaths, the Clueless and Losers. This helps us understand …
The Gervais Principle PART 1 – The Office According to The Office
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ By Venkatesh Rao My neighbor introduced me to The Office back in 2005. Since then, I’ve watched every episode of both the British and American versions. I’ve watched the show obsessively because I’ve been unable to figure out what makes it so devastatingly effective, and elevates it so far above the likes of Dilbert …
Rebuilding The Internet: Decentralized Platforms, Decentralized Hosting, Combating Censorship, & Internet Bill of Rights
On Alt-Tech’s decentralized platforms, new methods for decentralized hosting, combating censorship, & an Internet Bill of Rights (as an alternative to increased regulations). Much of this is in reaction to the corruption, collusion, and complicity of silicon valley and big media/business… and other usual suspects.
