I keep forgetting to go to odysee. Is there a way for video playback there without having the screen on? I just listen to the audio for most things, kinda like if it was a radio station.
It’s been a while since the last video, so you’ve probably been wondering when the next one is coming. I’ve been really tempted to make an in-depth video analysis of Starfield. There’s so much to say about the game, its politics, its development and the various public reactions. But unfortunately I’ve actually decided that it’s time to retire American Krogan. That may come as a surprise, but it’s a decision I’ve been vacillating on for over a year.
Since being banned from YouTube in 2019, I’ve been working under the assumption that eventually the money issue would sort itself out, but there’s still no monetization model or a pathway to one. This isn’t going to change. A few folks have been extremely generous with donations, and while I’m grateful, the sum total over all the years just can’t make up for a missing monetization model. I made a lot of sacrifices to do all this as long as I did, and I'm at the point where I can't continue.
As far as what happens now, all my accounts will remain up, but there won’t be any more videos or projects. I might use my accounts to promote other people's work, but I will become less and less active as I pursue other things.
I want to thank all the people who gave what support they could over the years. I also want to thank all the content creators, activists and writers from whom I learned and drew inspiration. Lastly, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to watch my videos. It’s been quite a remarkable journey, and I have become a better person because of it.
Best wishes,
-American Krogan

I use the Brave Browser with the option set to play videos even when screen turned off. It's been a lifesaver for playing audio without having to worry about accidentally touching a link or burning through all my battery.
I'm sad to see him go. He had some of the most well crafted content out there and he did more than most by putting in a tremendous effort with his Fallout 4 mod project. He was creating the kind of change that's needed to actually win some ground in pushing back against the cultural rot.

I assume you're talking about on a phone, because on PC it Just Works. Maybe try the website if you're using the mobile app.
By the way here is the message, which is just a text post and not a video.

Brave browser has background play, you need to turn it on in options
