Why post the embed link? It makes it extra work to find the actual videos page, the uploader, and see anything about it except the video itself

Is there some benefits I’m not aware of to using the embed link version?

I rarely watch a video without at least seeing who the uploader is, usually reading the description too, but maybe that’s just me…

I avoid using YouTube, don’t want to support Google Monopoly.

I usually just post the videos I like from services outside google control.

No that’s not what I meant

You post this link:

odysee.com/…/%40fireship%3A6%2Fpaying-for-softwar…

When I would have preferred this link:

odysee.com/…/paying-for-software-is-stupid…-10-fr…

You see the difference?

Your link only lets me watch the video, is called the embed link (it says ‘embed’ in it)

My link takes me to the webpage for the video so I can read the description, see the uploader, etc and of course watch the video

All this is not possible with your link, because I can’t get to the webpage through your link

I literally have to search for ‘odysee.com paying for software is stupid’ to try to find the video on my own. To even find out what to search I have to decipher the URL. It’s a lot of hassle when you could just post the regular URL to the video.

I’m not criticizing you, I’m just curious if it’s on purpose and why

That is the link I get when I click on share button on the Odysee app.
