Currently, in order to distribute your original digital content, creators have to give large amounts of their profits to the website that hosts them–YouTube alone takes 45% of the revenue from digital content. The solution? A YouTube without Google. LBRY is a decentralized, open-source protocol that facilitates the discovery, distribution, and purchase of digital content, where 100% of the revenue goes back to content creators. In less than a year since it was founded, LBRY has thousands of creators, and hundreds of thousands of users, and are working to create a user-driven community with content from Hollywood movies to PDFs, and everything in between. Tokens allow users to purchase content, and creators to reserve space in the content catalog. For more information or to get involved, visit lbry.io.
