Why would a link to Odysee be considered "dangerous"?

[Nicodemous52]

I see people link to videos and written reviews all the time in their reviews on Steam. But I link to my full written review posted on Odysee (yes, you can upload articles as well as videos there) and Steam decides my review is potentially dangerous and must be hidden.

What's the agenda, Steam? Why are we suppressing alt tech? If that's not the reason, then please go on and explain it to me, because it makes no sense unless you are being shills for Google and the rest of the censorious jerks in the valley.

Because it's full of QAnon tinfoil hat insanity and crypto scam ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

One glance at the front page of the site shows that statement to be false.

It's not? No more than Facebook or YouTube is. There was a time when you were not even allowed to say 4chan on steam. I can understand now allowing links to 4chan, but we were not even allowed to say it for a long time. If you don't think they are going to far with the censorship, then you are don't care. That's silly, people should care, but most don't until they run afoul. and when things are so sensitive, it's only a matter of time.

These people don't think for themselves. They have corporations and silicon valley to do that for them.

Because people kept bypassing the link filter by posting urls to the site in ways the forums didn't parse as links. (Specially to link to porn or worse)

And sites aren't filtered proactively. If the review filter is tagging it as malicious is because they have positives in malicious content coming through there. Nothing out of the ordinary. Cyberlocker systems have been going in and out of the filter as phishers and scammers have adopted and dropped them through time.

There is no malicious content coming out of Odysee. You can show me form 4chan (which isn't a banned word anymore) but I challenge you to show me from Odysee.

I'm half tempted to stop linking to Steam when I talk about games in other places. Not like there are not over places to link to like Epic or GoG or GameJolt or Itch.

The review filter disagrees.

Most you can do is taking it up to Steam Support.

Oh really? Let's see:

"Flat earth, earth diameter and lightspeed"
"ATTENTION! Atomic wallet hacked!"
"How leftwing is BITCOIN"
"BREAKING NEWS! USA ownes salvaged UFOS. FIRST CONTACT!"
"Uncovered: The dark planet of the elites"
"DeepState angedas and the hidden truth"

And that was just a quick glimpse at the front page.

That stuff is "dangerous" to you? You know they are on Facebook and twitter and Youtube too, right?

But what do I expect from some that thinks things he disagrees with are "dangerous". And what conspiracy theory am I pushing, exactly? Oh right, none. You are just talking to talk. I go to and post to a place you don't personally like so I'm a dirty person automatically in your mind. That's very mature and high level thinking right there.

I am honestly not sure what all this is about.
The link to the OP's Odysee review article posted in their Steam game review works just fine, and returns the usual yellow "You are Leaving Steam"notice page, not the red "dangerous link blocked" page.

(Quick edit to replace "warning" with "notice" re: the yellow "leaving Steam" notice page.)

My review for, Heretic's Fork: Probation got hidden earlier, then they unhide it but removed the link. And they won't let me edit it or delete it, I've tired several times

At least that's how it's been all day, seems they fixed it now.

It is not blocked right now. Did you read what I wrote? I can click the link, it takes me to the usual yellow "Leaving Steam" notice page, I can click the button there and go right to your Odysee review article.

If you were prevented from editing or deleting the review earlier, it's likely that someone flagged the review and reported it. That will freeze a review until Steam Support can check it manually. And if no issues are found, the flag is removed. You have a "fan" who reported your review, that's it. I've had it happen to a few of my reviews when my friendly neighborhood stalkers "fans" who troll me on a certain game hub decide to report my reviews for that game and its DLCs. Support looks at the flag, determines nothing is wrong and it was a false report, and removes the flag and my permissions to edit or delete are returned. It's a PITA, but if the "fans" do it too often and abuse the report system, they can lose their ability to report things for a bit.

Funyn how you feeld adressed by my statement even though I never did say you were one of those people I reffered to.
And immideatly you are so triggered that you make assumptions and jump to conclujsions.
The fact is, I never even claimed any of this to be "dangerous", but only qouted you qouting Steam.
But since reading comprehension apparently isn't your forteand you don't have any valuable arguements or anything productive to say I won't bother wasting any more time with you.

You quoted me stupid. If you were not talking about me, then why did you quote me and address the quote? Good lord, we are not all as dumb as you, some of us can read subtext just fine.

Yeah I quoted you to make it more easy to see what I was referring to wiht my answer.
But funny how that all triggers you so much that you now have to start with insults and ad hominem.

So I'm an example, but it's not referring to me, I'm just an example. Do you even think before you type?
