Comment on Can someone explain Pipe's LBRY usage to me?

thanks for your detailed answer :) So it’s really just another “Solution in search of a problem” kind of deal, since the whole concept “decentralises” a conecpt that is already decentralised (BitTorrent) but with a little Cryptocurrency because of course it has Crypto.

Now I just need to find out what Piped does with it, since all it’s content is supposed to be on YouTube, right? So searching for content can’t be it’s purpose… I think.

Solution in search of a problem

In this case, it can be considered as a solution to actual problem - trackers/indexers going down, or actually a deeper problem of BitTorrent, where you need the centralized trackers/indexers to find the torrent of the content you are looking for (you can’t just open qbittorrent and search for Arch Linux ISO).
But the execution of this solution is up for debate definitely.
