424 Building the Blockchain Version of YouTube w/ Jeremy Kauffman, LBRY founder

LBRY is a place where they can find great videos, music, ebooks, and more. How? LBRY started as a new protocol that allows anyone to build apps that interact with digital content on the LBRY network.    Apps built using the protocol allow creators to upload their work to the LBRY network of hosts (like BitTorrent), to set a price per stream or download (like iTunes) or give it away for free (like YouTube without ads). The work you publish could be videos, audio files, documents, or any other type of file.   Traditional video (or other content) sites such as YouTube, Instagram, and Spotify store your uploads on their servers and allow viewers to download them. They also allow creators to make some money through advertising or other mechanisms. However, there are some well-known drawbacks, especially for people whose material is perceived as not being advertiser-friendly.   Jeremy Kauffman created LBRY because he fell in love with the idea of shared, global content registry that is owned and controlled by no one.    In this podcast, Aaron and Jeremy discuss how it works and the challenges of building a new model for media.   Text Me What You Think of This Episode 412-278-7680   Pittsburgh’s best conference to Expand your Mind & Fill your Heart happens once a year.   Jeremy Kauffman’s Challenge; Bet on your beliefs.   Connect with Jeremy Kauffman Linkedin Twitter LBRY.tv   If you liked this interview, check out other blockchain interviews with Brendan Eich and Anthony Pompliano.   LBRY sync with YouTube Underwritten by Piper Creative Piper Creative creates podcasts, vlogs, and videos for companies.    Our clients become better storytellers.    How?
