As far as I know, you help seed videos you watch.

No, Odysee/LBRY operates on blockchain/crypto. It aims to be decentralised, and in that sense it's bit like federation, but it's completely different.
Even if it quickly fell off, I think approximately 70-80% of current Mastodon users came from Twitter, and a big reason for people leaving (after poor onboarding experience) was the small size of the Fediverse. There just weren't enough people in the Fediverse for the network effect to take hold. With each influx of users I expect to see a slightly higher proportion to stay, although I don't see this influx (from Reddit) as being particularly large in the first place.
Hang on, what I'm reading from this is that you believe in restricting internet usage until the age of consent, and I'm not sure that is a good idea? At the very least, it requires making some pretty big changes to be made. Education will have to make a big U-turn, and we will have to ban or restrict IoT devices (to be honest I don't like IoT, but the reality is people use them), and most importantly people below the age of consent won't have much access to movies and music, and in some places or situations, books or community without the internet.
If the ability for a trans 17 year old to access media is restricted by a transphobic parent, I don't see that as a good thing. It means a life of isolation and potential abuse.
