I like Odysee, but there’s a lot of right-wing bullshit on there that give me a major case of cringe.

Odysee takes a lot of curation to even be usable. You can block whole channels easily and they won’t show up for you anywhere, but once you’ve blocked all the RWB you’re left with mostly tech, gaming, and reactions. And this is despite Odysee/LBRY having been around for years.

So don’t watch it? I would rather the platform all all legal content then trying to be the morality police.

I would also prefer to use third party recommendation engines (like people posting on Lemmy) then one run by any particular platform.

Sure, but it’s literally every other thumbnail and it pisses me off as I do not tolerate intolerance.
