I believe the correct response to the whole issue of sexual imagery being offensive to some people is: Booo hooo. Neeeext! |

Neeeext! --- End quote --- I would agree with him however if the site was actually filled with that stuff and it dominated the top channels and search results, that means both Joe Average viewer and creator isn't going to want to use it. But that's not the case, in fact it's the opposite. This would be similar to BitChute that I have complained about in a video, it's filled with nazi and other crackpot stuff, and they really don't seem to care. In this respect LBRY is a much friendlier place, it hasn't attracted the crackpots. At least LBRY know this and have a system to tag NSFW content and not display by default. And if it got too much they could then choose not to display it at all on lbry.tv |

Interesting figures... All-Time High $1.60 (Jul 14, 2016) and All-Time Low $0.00545793 (Dec 20, 2019). Based on those figures... at an all-time high the 100,000 LBC gift would have been worth $160,000, and at an all-time low $545. Let's hope in 2 years when you can "cash in" on this reward it will be significantly higher! :-+ As far as "pr0n" is concerned, I believe if your content filter is not changed from the default, it will NOT show any questionable content (although some are miscategorized and I believe a reporting mechanism should be in place to ensure this doesn't show up if you choose to filter it out). I am hoping that the creators of LBRY don't suffer from a misogynistic Silicon-valley "boys club startup culture" which we have seen plague other companies in the past. This may be a reason for their titillating emails. I have no problem with "pr0n" on the site but it needs to be properly filtered. It could also be that they are trying TOO HARD to be "counter-culture" and "edgy" and "in your face" to get their site promoted. I think if it is to gain a solid foundation of creators (especially those from YouTube) it will need to promote more normative content. Otherwise the site will be full of content that is self-promoting either LBRY, cryptocurrency, pr0n, conspiracy theorists, alt-right, anarchists and every extremist view out there (that would likely be bumped or demonetized on YouTube). Perhaps it is just that in the initial growth spurt of LBRY, it attracted this stuff but as the platform grows it will become more main-stream. The LBRY executive need to do their part though to help brand it that way, otherwise it will scare away potential viewers. I am hoping these fringe elements will be diluted in time. One more thing... if you have ads embedded in your video as opposed to just being served up (like YouTube does) it could also make a difference. A sponsor would automatically make your video demonetized on YouTube, but they may have issue with the LBRY platform (like the Linux guy) and choose not to follow a creator there. So any creators with embedded sponsors will be more restricted in general by the whims of their patrons. You will have to hope view counts and LBRY tokens make up for any such sponsor withdrawal or go for the platform they prefer. |

This is why Bitchute is not a great place for content, they have encouraged just the dregs of the banned internets and that's the stuff that dominates. LBRY already has science and tech channels in the top 10 list, so it pays to capitalise on this. Whilst LBRY can't and shouldn't control what goes on the actual LBRY blockchain, they can control what stuff is posted and highlighted on lbry.tv and the app etc. |

Not sure what's the big deal with pr0n, you can find it on YT without much effort. Wasn't it on some vSauce video that i heard 30% of all content on the internet is pr0n ? It's not like you get blasted with all manner of it as soon as you open the site up, no? Also, whenever someone goes out of their way to outline how religious they are i tend to avoid them. :) |
