Hello there!
Many of you consider LBRY and Odysee as a good alternative to YouTube, because it does not track you, and does not do evil things.
Let me clear up your heads.
LBRY and Odysee still tracks you. It does still use an algorithm, that recommends you content. To be honest, it isn't really different from YouTube. You need a phone number to verify, or other personal information. They use third-party components, to provide their services like Google AdSense. If it grows more, then we will get to the same point, what we have now with YouTube. (If they don't make a change.)
