numerous advantages. Firstly, you don't need to sign up for an account to view any of the content
Anonymity favorites anonymous shit, hence this is not an advantage, while if you get banned on Youtube, you stay banned even on other Google's services.
Secondly, no advertising! I can even follow my favourite channels on LBRY without an account or signing in to anything.
Yeah, whimpers have to complain how annoying it is to see the video stopped for advertising, like when you are in your car, and you complain that the traffic light gets red and you have to wait for it becoming green, or you have to stop and wait at the level crossing because a train is there about to pass.

Life is something like that. Nobody does things really for free, and even a smile hides advertising.
Now Youtube now has some problem with its algorithms, ok, hope this can be fixed somehow ... but at the moment I wonder ... has it ever asked you a single penny for all the hours of news, entertainment, and business opportunities it has given you?
