What is LBRY?
LBRY is an open-source, decentralized network and protocol that enables the discovery and distribution of data, especially multimedia content. It is designed to be an alternative to centralized content platforms and services.
LBRY enables content creators to publish various types of media, including videos, audio, images, ebooks, and more. Using LBRY, creators can upload their content to the network, assign a price per stream or download, and get paid directly by the consumers, without needing a middleman platform that takes a cut.
The content is hosted in a decentralized manner by the participants in the LBRY network. This means no single entity, including LBRY itself, controls the content. The network uses blockchain, cryptography, and peer-to-peer networking technologies to operate the marketplace and enable direct payments.
Some of the purported benefits of LBRY over centralized alternatives include censorship resistance, reduced fees, ownership of creative works, and community-driven discovery. Overall, LBRY aims to give more control, freedom, and compensation to both creators and consumers of digital content.
