Researching web3 alternatives to YouTube - OpenDataforWeb3/Resources GitHub Wiki

We want to start sharing how to and other videos. Perhaps the ODC should lead by example and have for eg a lens protocol - and also use one of the web3 video solutions.

Decent write up here

LBRY: Odyseey is the in-browser app that uses LBRY

• positives: well known & possibly the most mature with the most features
  • Channels: seems like what we might want for ODC: https://help.odysee.tv/category-channels/
• negatives:
  • unclear long term viability of this app specific blockchain
  • windows client vs. in browser experience a little unclear UX
• explanation: https://lbry.com/what
• example: search for ethereum content: https://odysee.com/$/search?q=ethereum

DTube:

• positives: well they seem to be open source! https://github.com/dtube
  • seems like a good Discord: https://discord.gg/dtube
  • IPFS based
  • interesting governance model: https://d.tube/#!/election
• negatives:
  • again - app specific blockchain
  • UX a bit immature vs. Odyseey
• explanation: FAQs: https://d.tube/#!/wiki/faq/README
• example: search for ethereum content: https://d.tube/#!/s/ethereum

Lenstube Lenstube, an open-source web3 video-sharing social media platform built on top of Lens protocol 🌿 and live on Polygon mainnet.

• positives: Open source https://github.com/lenstube-xyz/lenstube
  • Upload content to Arweave and the data is permanently stored on Polygon
  • Sign in with lens protocol
  • collect videos as nft
  • Bankless is posting on it
• negatives:
  • Project is active on GitHub but only one main contributor
  • Videos are not fast to load (in my experience)

Questions:

• what are they like - for a creator?
• token models - is there a way for a channel such as ODC to automatically share tokens w/ a creator?
