@requiem when i tried it years ago it was a bloated electron app that took like an hour to start up. not an exaggeration. it was doing some kinda indexing i think.

i think a video distribution platform should look something like PeerTube + SecSB. efficient distribution with no regard to IP law, because IP law sucks and does not deserve the electricity and computational power wasted on it, but backed by something more decentralized than DNS for identifying content.
would be cool to see this done with NDN too.

but also, i never dug very deeply into LBRY and it's been a few years since i tried it, so hopefully they have improved since then.

@requiem i also don't know exactly how LBRY enforces copyright but i remember an interview Lunduke did (back when i still watched his videos) with one of the creators where they talked about how they don't want to make piracy easy.
and i disagree with that goal.
they should make piracy _and_ directly supporting creators as easy as possible.

@requiem i should probably look more into how their current tech works, but tbh i lost interest after my first impression.

@requiem I use it to watch a few people that I used to watch on Youtube. It's mostly workable, but I'm not a fan of the electron interface for their desktop app. They released a new website for it called Odysee.com that basically pulls from the same back end protocol. It actually downloads the .mp4 file for the video to your system when you start playing it though, so you can view it via other players.
