My thoughts on 3speak are very similar to yours. Nothing new there! 😁

I've not used it to upload videos so can't comment from that angle but as a listener my biggest bugbear is that I've never yet been able to listen to a video all the way through without it getting stuck. Sometimes moving the slider works but often it doesn't. Sometimes reloading and then moving the slider works and sometimes I have to leave it and come back later. It's a bit frustrating.

I also am not keen on 100% free speech. Although I think people should be able to say want they want to but I'd prefer a channel that was exclusively for stuff that was banned elsewhere rather than having it mixed in with more mainstream stuff. Bit of a pipedream that though as one man's meat is another man's poison.

In the end it will just come down to individual choice I suppose. If I end up seeing more stuff I don't want to see rather than stuff I do them I will just block 3speak or any other similar channels. But that would be the same for anything anyway.

I would also like to see more diverse projects. Same with Oracle-D/YooDoo? which seems to have ended up with primarily crypto related stuff.

It will be interesting to see how it all develops. 😊
