Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅
Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?
the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it’s really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.
https://odysee.com/ is blockchain-based, built on LBRY. It appears to have similar features for discovery, interaction, etc. as YouTube. Still testing it out personally to see how it actually performs though!
Curious what do they need a blockchain for?
Seems like the main purpose is so users always control & own their own content, sell access/ownership/etc.? This is a full and pretty detailed explanation on the LBRY protocol if you want to really dig in: https://lbry.com/what
I came here to say this, big youtubers like Veritasium publish to Odysee too
@ryannathans thank you for this! I didn’t know about Odysee until now https://odysee.com/@veritasium:f/what-everyone-gets-wrong-about-energy:b
Overall I find the UI much nicer than youtube too. Like the video doesn’t stop playing as I navigate around the site. Very fresh. Plus you’d have no idea the back end is decentralized and on the blockchain
