How privacy friendly is Odysee ?

Few days ago I found odysee. I saw it on grayjay.
I'm trying to use YouTube as less as possible. I found some of creators I follow from yt here. How do you rate it for privacy.

Slightly moreso than YouTube, but you should really use Librarian or the LBRY app.
Also, be warned that Odysee is alt-tech.
- Whats alt-tech?
  
  There's a lot of right wing content
- Odysee IS the video platform of LBRY. It's currently the best alternative to YT
  
  Odysee is A video platform of LBRY. There is also LBRY for desktop and Android, and Librarian is an alternative frontend.
I consider odysee to be a longer term pump'n'dump scam for the reasons outlined here:

Personally I wouldn't place much trust in them.
It's not that great privacy wise. Probably not as bad as YouTube but unfortunately it doesn't seems to be their priority.
IIRC it uses BitTorrent (like Peertube), so your IP address will be shared
Odysee is dominated by far-right people, a lot of the content is straight up fascistic and comments usually suck
Still, I follow some creators I like there through Grayjay, but no interaction with Odysee
