Odysee's decision to remove ads highlights a bold move towards a model that prioritizes user experience and creator sustainability, ensuring it remains financially viable without traditional advertising.
Julian Chandra stated, 'As we take this decision, one thing is certain to us, media platforms typically devolve into advertising companies... It's been that way for centuries and is never going to change.'
He further explained the rationale behind removing ads: 'Our approach may be considered niche or unconventional, that's fine by us. Odysee will be used by the world on terms that are agreeable to its users, and we know our users don't like ads.'
By transitioning to Arweave blockchain, Odysee potentially opened up new revenue streams, allowing a sustainable departure from ad-dependent revenue models that often compromise user experience.
