From the announcement:

Starting today, we’re removing all ads.

We don’t need ads to make money as a platform and we are confident in the development of our own new monetisation programs that will help creators earn a living and at the same time keep Odysee alive.

Ultimately, sacrificing the overall user experience to make a few bucks isn’t worth it to us and nor is it even sustainable for a platform that wishes to make something truly open and creatively free.

It’s not clear to me how they plan to earn enough revenue to keep the service going, but I hope they manage to do so because this sounds dope.
