     @EposVox I used to follow the project before the launch of Odyssey/SEC getting involved mostly to see how the tech of decentralized video hosting evolved.

     They sure did try to centralize how videos were shared. Even browsing the subreddit, I don't think I ever saw a client/site mentioned that wasn't developed by LBRY. I was also baffled by the amount of posts by users claiming they fully moved away from watching videos on YouTube and used LBRY exclusively.

     @EposVox@glitch.lgbt Just wondering: What'll happen to your LBRY channel now? I know you stopped supporting it like all the other leftists who happened to be on that platform (cause' LBRY became bootleg Youtube for Nazis), but will you delete it?
     
     LBRY could've been a real second Youtube, honestly. They had actually decent video creators (like you, plus Kittydog, Linux Experiment, and Coreteks) backing the platform, but they just floundered it, sucking up to garbage like all the other video platforms.
     
     God, Youtube is unfortunately still the only good video platform.
