I went to odysee once and saw the Babylon Bee advertised front page. Told me all I needed to know about the platform.

What's wrong with the Babylon Bee? Isn't that a site similar to The Onion?

Edit: lol downvoted for asking a genuine question?

The bee claims to be satire to deflect criticism. Often it fails to satirize at all, and just says shit things with intent to claim "its a joke bro"

Much of The Babylon Bee's content, while stated to be satirical, often misses the point of satire.
