@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.
