Rodney42It allows you to upload unlimited amounts of video.
1Its open source, easy modern and good.
6takitzisLBRY video interface has moved to Odyssee, so no more is a Youtube alternative
0NickThe_StatisticI didn't think much of LBRY/Odysee. Their crypto thing made it seem as though I had to pay to like other people's videos, they wanted my original crypto to like another person's video. It didn't make much sense to me, my video didn't go on a list of videos that were new. I can tell there was no one who saw my video. This makes it obvious that anyone posting a video does not get seen. What is so hard to understand about free speech?
0It can store large sizes without limits and without a lot of money needed.

It is a free/libre software that respects your freedom and the freedom of your personal data.

6Poor in content, unused, not immediately clear, important structural difference that are not obvious.
-1Clueless how it works and it would not upload my video when I tried the demo so there was no way to figure it out.
-9I should just be able to logon and go you can't do that with this platform.

Comments about IPFSTube as a Alternative to YouTube
It's not a good alternative to YouTube because the idea is upload a video, get a link and share it. That's it. It doesn't have a interface that you can search for videos and etc. Basically, it doesn't have the "social network" that YouTube has.
