Rumble basically positions itself as the repository for boomer-tier controlled-opposition.

This will remain true as long as any alt-tech company has to play ball with Apple and Google for access to their app stores (see this site’s app for example).

Odysee lacks the financial support that Rumble has and that will always hamper its ability to grow. Odysee can’t cut deals with large content creators in order to drive traffic to their service. And anyways, if Odysee ever draws attention to itself, they’ll either have to censor or get yeeted off the app stores.
