YouTube co-founder predicts ‘decline’ of the platform

YouTube and other platforms are so aggressive in their moderation/censorship that what we really need to succeed them is something decentralized, rather than a transition to a different centralized master.

Some alternatives: https://blockonomi.com/youtube-alternative/

Peertube in particular has a friendly explanation on what it is: https://joinpeertube.org/#what-is-peertube

I love Peertube, but I'm always concerned to see just how small the team behind it is. I'm hoping LBRY gets more adoption, just in case Peertube gets knocked off for good.

I am not sure I entirely understand LBRY and its relation to Odysee. I see an explanation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LBRY but it feels confusing for a newbie.

My limited understanding is that LBRY is the protocol its self, Odysee is the front-end developed by the devs. I'm not a great fan of Odysee its self, as the owners aggressively follow any DMCA or takedown request, regardless of legitimacy. But the capability for self hosting, as far as I am aware, is there, unhampered.
