I found out that Roku has an Odyssee app, so I loaded it up for some insomnia viewing.

I found the SNR to be about the same as #PeerTube, with the important distinction that PeerTube's "noise" consists of lots of random videos that are neither very good, nor very bad, but just "stuff," while #LBRY/#Odysee's "noise" is... bonkers crazy awfulness. Insane political crap (heavy on the neo-neo-conservative side, a.k.a. fascists and propaganda), spooky nonsense, and just... ugh.

Also, not a very good app. Couldn't load older videos at all, but that's kind of par for the course for niche Roku apps.
