While I can understand that to a degree, keep in mind:
Any true alternative to the big sites, especially if they censor less, will always first attract the fringe and those who would get themselves banned on the big platforms. Even if it was for good reasons. These days, that seems to mean religious nutjobs and right-wing conspiracy theorists.
nyway, Odysee is blockchain based, as say, even if there is a moderator, he can't delete contents, only can hide it from otherusers and this is they are doing, but certainly not so strikt as YT. There is an IMDB extension, which redirect from YT to Odysee, when the content is also there. You can watch YT videos and also this from other platforms, or listen music from Soundcloud and similar in SMPlayer in streaming or watch YT videos sandboxed in Andisearch. You can record and download the audio in MP3 fom your active tab, also from YT, with this extension. I use an userscript which plays YT videos in iframe and avoid that it discover the adblocker i use. Possibilities always exist, even if you dont want to watch ads or pay YT Premium. I've listed several possibilities here in Memes about this problem. https://lemmy.ml/post/6646830
