In 2015, a content distribution network called LBRY (pronounced "library") was created. It uses blockchain to be very robust and censorship resistant and handle payments to content creators with its own built-in cryptocurrency. Then in 2020, Odysee was created as a way to easily view LBRY content without needing special software or skills.
LBRY is modeled after Bitcoin, but doesn't actually store content on the blockchain. Instead, it stores metadata about content, including how to download the content from a P2P network, which I'm guessing is similar to a magnet URI. The LBRY website explains, "For the same reasons that nobody can prevent a Bitcoin transaction from taking place, nobody can prevent a transaction (like a publication or a tip) from appearing on the LBRY blockchain." And although LBRY aims to be censorship resistant, Odysee can still censor whatever they choose.
I'm pretty sure you can hover the mouse over to see the hard date/time. I don't believe the image was altered to hide that info. However, the usernames were removed, so that's why it does look doctored.
Yup! I use an aux cable in my car and then all of a sudden I'm driving in silence. I tried settings and developer settings, but this behavior persists.
Reminds me of this funny video exaggerating the difference between default Android and iPhone alarms:
