I mean in terms of having lots of the creators I like on it (around 80% I'm guessing), being less likely to become censorious, and isn't a broken piece of crap. I don't give a hoot whether they are an economic competitor.

Are you tastes in any way representative of any large segment of the population though? Like, do these creators have thousands or millions of viewers?

Yes, Minute Physics and Veritasium are two examples I remember off the top of my head (not an LBRY user since I quit algorithmic video binges after abusing them possibly worse then I do HN, IRC, and assorted doomscrolling now :P).

But, Minute Physics and Veritasium are on YouTube. So, maybe it's just cross-posting and their 99% audience is not there?

Of course from a "can I adopt X" perspective, cross-posted content to X is fine, even if most users watch it on YouTube.

But for that to be meaninful on a larger scale most popular content should be cross-posted to Odysee (or original to it).

E.g. Veritasium is for sure popular, but it might just be part of a tiny slither of YouTube content that made it to the platform - so that would mean I could adopt Odysee as a YouTube replacement only if my interests intersect with that slither.
