Julian Chandra, the founder of independent video hosting platform Odysee, clapped back at a corporate journalist from left-leaning tech website CNET after receiving an email that appeared to accuse Odysee of âbeing a platform filled with conspiracy theory and misinformation videos.â
âI received an annoying email from a CNET journalist recently looking for a quote from us on what Odyseeâs stance is toward âmisinformation,’â Chandra wrote in a blog post. âWhat was most annoying however; the way they absurdly said that weâre a âgo-toâ platform specifically for misinformation and conspiracy content.â
The New Tech entrepreneur continued, âI know this is just a case of another dumbass journalist from the legacy media looking to write another ill-informed hitpiece about how new tech is morally corrupt without any modicum of understanding about what new tech represents, but this is so disparaging â the way these guys try to mischaracterize what weâre building. I wish many legacy media outlets would just die already.â
