I have seen a little of lbry and it is an interesting concept. I don't think people tend to send optional micropayments to content creators when so much is available free. That is something that makes this site great and engaging. The YouTube model does need an overhaul with how it rewards people especially since you can block ads and this limits revenue to content creators. I wonder if an unmoderated content service like a YouTube will turn into a place I wouldn't want kids to go or what the target audience will be.
