Well, that’s my point. Any social media platform is an alternative to Twitter just as any video sharing platform is an alternative to YouTube.
In reality, any “alternative” platform is hardly an alternative if it’s attempting to replace something that is among the most visited websites globally with billions of users. Most people don’t want to deal with the inconvenience of using an obscure service for the sake of privacy or any other principle.
I only mentioned Odyssey because it’s interface is very similar to YouTube, which is important if you want people to switch. Of course, any service without corporate backing and momentum largely driven by major platforms is not going to be replacing any platforms that have already established themselves as the de facto service within its platform.
