Odysee.com Report

Filed under Alt-Tech, Culture and Cultural Insights, Marketing, Marketing Technology News & Current Events, Media Blitz Publicity Articles, Social Media, Special Reports, Technology, Video, Video Content Marketing

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 …

Having followed up on the heels of the MySpace craze of the mid-2000s and having gained its initial usership through colleges before opening beyond college campuses in the late 2000s, in early 2020 Facebook is still the first name that comes to mind for social media. It was dominant for a decade but has seen …

Coming to prominence around 2009, Twitter.com is the most famous “micro-blogging” site. With drastic character count limitations that force posts to be concise or to overflow into a waterfalling series of so-called tweets, Twitter pushed for the dubious adoption of URL-shorteners that provide a short proxy URL that does not indicate a given link’s destination …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
