Odysee, bitchute, peertube, and others are overrun with right wing media and there’s nearly no left-wing stuff on them. Where are all the lefties?

And also, as ProdigalFrog points out, leftists are wary of other centralized platforms. We know they have the same incentive structures.
Odysee, Bitchute and Peertube are not centralised. But if leftists believe that they are, that would explain it.
Bitchute is centralized; content distribution is not. Bitchute has a stranglehold over the platform. It is centralized in all the ways that leftists care about. Odysee is built on blockchain so of course nobody with 5 braincells are gonna touch it. Peertube has awful discovery so nobody who matters cares to use it.
I don’t know what your point is
Lol.
Typical leftie behavior: if it’s not perfect, fuck it. This is why the left is so split and losing to right-wingers “oh you’re on my side? no you aren’t, we disagree on point 9182534925349 and point 12673581253! fuck you, you nazi misogynist pig!”. Right-wingers would blot the skies with swastika smoke signals while lefties argue about the harm it does to the planet and everyone gets converted.
What kind of decentralized platform are you waiting for? Does Marx have to rise from the grave first to sanctify it before you will deem it worthy?
what?
Bitchute uses adhoc peer-to-peer to lower streaming costs, but Bitchute itself has ultimate control of what content is available, moderation, and is ultimately reliant on Bitchute servers to actually host the content that becomes peer-to-peer on demand. The software is proprietary, and no individual can spin up their own bitchute.
Odysee is, like Bitchute, very centralized in practice.
Peertube is the only truly decentralized option that puts the power of hosting and federation in the hands of individuals.
