Chap's too lazy to think of typing owt and expects his viewer to spend half an hour finding out not a lot.

It's a bit like subscriptions: who could begrudge a measly 25 mins? Just as who could begrudge a paltry £3 a month or whatever? 'S OK for just the one, but lots of them soon add up. I really wish 'creators' (they ain't, they're just very lazy boys) would leave the videos for stuff that demonstrates and just provided a blog or transcript for stuff where only their lips move. Better, just a precis and executive summary.

The gist is... "I don't want my content on a site that has adult (explicit) videos on it as well"... and he argues this from a moral ethical standing. On the other hand, there are settings which you can use to filter out this stuff, although a few things still get through (due to inadequate content descriptions/tagging by the uploader) but usually sort out after the community reports it as being NSFW. Also, he received some questionable emails/spam alerting him to adult content on LBRY which he didn't like either.

What the video SHOULD HAVE argued, perhaps also making a better case, is not about the morality of posting to a site that tries to be as uncensored as possible, but as to the LBRY platform as a whole and how it can benefit creators... or whether there are issues with it. How is it better? How is it worse? What are the limitations/weaknesses and strengths? Is monetization practical and can creators earn enough on it? Is the technology robust enough, glitchy, and what can be done to make it more relevant and attractive as an alternative to YouTube for viewers?

That would have been more interesting than talking about one's own moral beliefs about whether or not LBRY should or shouldn't be hosting adult content or not. While that may be important for some people, what is important to all creators is some of the other points I touched upon above.

I am curious to know what Dave has experienced so far with LBRY and how much has it helped his channel (to which I just subscribed on LBRY), whether it cannibalizes from his YouTube viewers or actually grows his following, and his thoughts regarding LBC's versus YouTube adsense revenue. I feel like it is still a big experiment and could implode any day.

[EDIT: Ok I'm starting to understand how LBRY works... very different than YouTube, completely different underlying technology and system for making it work, and how it uses everyone's computers to distribute content across the entire web. You get "paid" by viewing videos because you are actually downloading and become part of the hive, like bittorrent... you host the videos!!!! And have to "pay" to publish a video.

I started viewing Dave's LBRY EEVBlog videos and stepped away from the computer... a few hours later and I have about 3 or 4 of Dave's videos on my computer, since it keeps playing the next video... Using up my hard drive and bandwidth. I ended up gaining another LBC... and had to open up port 3333 which is what the LBRY app uses. Not sure if I love this model but I get it.]

I thought the thread title would have self explanatory enough for those interested enough. I realize now he takes too long to get to the point.

In this case, there was concern that if I added my own commentary, I risk filling the thread with replies confirming or denying certain beliefs. I was actually hoping to hear more from creators moving from youtube to LBRY.

A time code link at the point of knot several minutes in might have been the shot.

Sorry about that.
