It's sad that both 3speak and Odysee aren't up to snuff. I have no experience posting reports on these platforms, sticking to blogging on Hive, but in terms of consuming content in video form I have preferred Odysee to any alternatives. 3speak was native to Hive, which reduced the need to click and load links, so I liked that option when it was available. I prefer to avoid the 'tube and Rumble when I can, the 'tube for surveillance reasons and Rumble because of its UI. Vids on Substack don't have a mechanism to set audio output, which I find barely tolerable, but of the options you have available I will choose Substack every time. I gave up on the 'tube when Goolag stole my nick and took my gmail, and that was before they changed their mission from 'Don't be evil' to 'Be as evil as possible', and now I'm glad all it cost me was the best nick on the webz to avoid Goolag like the plague.
To address the Health Ranger's comment, half of people are below average IQ, and there's a significant number of people well below that. There's a lot of stupid people, and that's all politicians need to cover themselves with a veneer of popular support - until enough people have had enough of their shit and move to kick it in. Then the majority matters, but that doesn't happen until peoples' kids go hungry, and that will not happen for a couple more weeks in the US, at least.
I absolutely agree with everything you said about our peerless leader (and David Draiman), but would probably go farther.
Thanks!
