Why Everyone's Leaving YouTube

"After having learned my lesson the hard way, I have one piece of advice for creators posting content online: Own Your Data Don't put yourself at the mercy of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, SoundCloud, Snapchat, Tumblr, Vine, Google+, MySpace, or any of these other third parties! Unlike the more established content sharing platforms, LBRY is free, open and decentralized. This has several benefits over the traditional closed and centralized platforms: Content creators on LBRY remain in ownership of their content. It’s a peer-to-peer platform with no middle man standing between the creator and their audience, and no single entity controls the entire network. It’s a fairer platform, there is no arbitrary algorithm that decides who gets exposure and who doesn’t. There are no ads which means subpar content will not get rewarded just because of clickbait titles and thumbnails. Instead, content is rewarded by the community through tips and purchases." ~Michael Hebo
