Odysee is an Android application that offers access to an eponymous decentralized platform. Here users can upload and share videos with people around the world. This utility runs on the LBRY protocol that enables creators to publish their content without intermediaries.
Channels and monetization
With this app, users can launch their own channel. Creators may upload their videos and share them with their followers, who can like, comment, and share the content. It is possible to track new posts from favorite authors.
There is a Discovery option that allows users to find new channels and clips based on their interests. Unlike YouTube, which primarily relies on advertising revenue, Odysee offers three options for monetization:
- tips;
- subscriptions;
- pay-per-view.
Creators can earn so-called LBC or LBRY Credits for their content, which can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat money. Therefore, this utility is an alternative source of income for authors.
The platform is decentralized, so there is no central authority controlling the content. This makes it more difficult for governments or other entities to censor or remove posts. Additionally, Odysee encrypts all videos for additional security.
