I wouldn't call this a YouTube alternative. Like it or not a YouTube alternative would have to be able to pay the content creator while delivering their content to users for free. It's quite sad but for now we do not have other models than advertisement for that. Otherwise, technologically, LBRY is interesting, it makes me think of IPFS and ZeroNet (which could have both been used as backend maybe?).

> a YouTube alternative would have to be able to pay the content creator while delivering their content to users for free True, but that holds only for a small part of YouTube. I think the majority of videos on YouTube are not being paid for.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with YouTube. This is about art distribution with a digital currency. Very little of YouTube is about art and there is no currency involved. Not every content creator on YouTube want to be paid by viewers. For sure I don't, that would against the goal of my videos (very short vacation clips for friends or tutorials to bring people to my local go club). The title is misleading.
