I've noticed quite a few free software enthusiast posting their content to LBRY[1]. Doesn't seem like a perfect solution for every type of video getting messed up by YouTube lately, but I think infosec could find a good home there.

Absolutely not.

Its more "decentralized crypto blockchain" nonsense. Nope, nope, and just nope.

LBRY would be perfect without blockchain. As someone that talks about blockchain since 2016, I see no reason why they need a slow database

Care to explain how to make a censorship resistant system without a blockchain? It's one of the best use cases for it, and everything LBRY promises would not be possible without it.

LBRY actually has one of the most valid uses of a blockchain. Don't you see what's happening on YouTube today with demonization and censorship? No hacking videos? Really.

This is the best test: https://spee.ch/a/doyouneedablockchain
