Be sure to post about it on Twitter and use the hashtags #LBRYweekend and #TellYourLBRYstory !

New from #LBRY : #Odysee
#Like and #Dislike buttons
#LoveIt or #HateIt = #Fire or #Slime
If you like someone's content, send some #Fire? their way. If you don't like it, throw some #Slime? at them.
So much more fun than a system using simple ? ?

In corner #1: PRESENTING! The reigning world champion video sharing platform, YouTube! Who sold their soul to the corporate devil back in 2016 and have really been taking a possible career ending turn for the worse in recent years:
• Weighing in at XXX,XXX,XXX weekly users.
• X,XXX hours of content uploaded every second.
• Billions of $$ in profits to be shared with an elite few at the top of the corporate ladder.
• 45% of table scrap profits are occasionally tossed to the peasants, but ONLY to creators who have been verified "YouTube Partner Program" members. (1,000 Subs & 4,000 Watch Hours etc.)
• This is of course only for the creators who know how to stay in their damn lane, censor themselves, and "Sell their brand" Or Else!!!
• Demonetization and Banishment or Deplatforming await those who do not stay on the approved corporate course.
• Now with even more Ads! Which have somehow managed to become increasingly ever more terrible, invasive, lengthy, unskippable, and Fucking annoying every single day.
Over in corner #2 we have a relatively unknown and yet very strong contender named, LBRY (pronounced: "Library"). A decentralized up-and-coming multimedia sharing protocol. LBRY has shown tremendous progress thus far in building up genuine levels of both respect & appreciation for their users or "LBRYans" (pronounced: "Librarians"). This term refers not only to LBRY content creators, but it also includes the ever important flip side, YOU, the viewers. This subtle yet important distinction from YT already begins to reveal the true nature of the underlying commUNITY based structure of the entire LBRY project. These UNITED creators/viewers could in fact be the one secret weapon needed to finally dethrone the current king/emperor/dictator, YouTube:
• LBRY.TV is now officially considered "Live" after having logged 100,000 active users within a week during Jan/2020.
• More high quality content from dedicated creators is being uploaded every single day.
• LBRY is currently (Feb 2020) giving back to its community via a 250k $LBC Giveaway/Contest which is lovingly referred to as "Down To F#&*%^ February" or "Down To Follow"
• Where you can earn by referring your friends to use LBRY and by FOLLOWing other channels, like THIS CHANNEL! This is just one of many other ways that you can earn $.
• Ways like these: by receiving Rewards and Tips directly from viewers like YOU in the form of the native crypto currency called LBRY Credits (LBC).
• The beauty of the decentralized nature of the LBRY platform is that freedom reigns supreme. Say what you want, do what you want, BE who you are, NOT who someone else thinks you should be to better "market yourself" or their shit that they want to sell to YOUR viewers.
• No one is going to ban you from LBRY, unless you are doing some straight up nasty stupid illegal shit! In which case, knock that shit off! You are making the rest of us look bad and you are just awful humans and you should probably just consider making some better life decisions.
• You can also set a price for people to access your content if you wish. This feature, should you choose to use it, is the only real place where advertisements could potentially come into play on LBRY. However, that is only if YOU choose to set up your channel in such a way at the time when this type of feature becomes available. You DO NOT have to though.
•YOU can CHOOSE to give away your videos for free, and your viewers will NEVER be interrupted again, and again, and again... while they are trying to watch your amazing videos!
So... who are you gonna put your money on for this EPIC Home Page Cage Match?
IDK about you, but I got my $LBC on LBRY!

Should LBRY change the official spelling of their term "LBRYian" to "LBRYan" ?
Cast your vote NOW via a "Yes!" or "No!" comment on this video! I encourage you to also leave a short explanation as to Why you made your choice as you did. Or better yet, do that ☝️ and then visit the highlighted post on the official LBRYans United MeWe Group Wall here:
www.mewe.com/join/LBRYansUnited
This will make my life waaay easier when it comes to tallying up all the votes later. Because I won't have to, MeWe will do it for me. There is currently NO time limit for you to vote. The poll will remain up and open for voting until such a time as @LBRY makes a public statement/ video regarding this important grammatical distinction and the debate is settled.
As per the acknowledgment of Discord user @Fatih19#2510 ("I like how 58 votes decides the whole community XD") that 58 votes from my 7 day Twitter poll on my account with 13 followers, did not adequately reflect the opinion of an online community with +100k weekly users. Thanks buddy! ??

This was recorded back in April just after the Lockdown went into effect. Chris is a long time friend and fellow creator so I thought that I could help teach him about the LBRY platform, as well as LBRYans United, and how he can use LBRY to spread the word about *his* project, while simultaneously creating a bit more of an in depth video for my own projects! I play on utilizing his brilliant web application to gather footage (photos/videos) for round two of my [Sticker It To The Man Campaign](https://lbry.tv/@LBRYansUnited:7/sticker-it-to-the-man:d)as well as my idea to create a series of interviews which highlight other LBRYan creators [LBRYan Community Spotlight](https://lbry.tv/@LBRYansUnited:7/TellMe...WhoAreYou:b)
Lots of stuff to look forward to, both here, and there. So... enjoy! Hopefully you can all learn a lot from this video, and perhaps a few of you out there watching now have already been hoping that something like MemoryFox existed... well, NOW it does! I ask all of you now to please give Chris and his creation, a warm welcome to the LBRY! He is still (like most of us), trying to get his channel all set up and figuring out how to make the best use of LBRY. So I am sure that he would greatly appreciate any/all assistance or advice that you would like to share with him. Thank you, fellow LBRYans, and thank you, Chris for the awesome exchange of ideas!
All the best of luck, Chris! Cheers to the LBRYfox, and for achieving your dreams!

This video serves to explain a bit about what to expect from this channel, should you choose to follow it or view the content posted here. There is also a MeWe group of the same name with the same goal. As the name implies, to Unite fellow LBRYans! ?✊
Join the conversation on MeWe:

The plan is to primarily focus on LBRY themed video topics. Which includes placing a spotlight on YOU, the other people watching this who are also content creators. I would like to start an ongoing series of short interviews with everyday LBRYans to find out more about what You create for the platform, along with what inspires you, what your goals are and what led you here/what keeps you here? I want to learn what people love/or maybe hate about LBRY and where they feel that some improvements are needed.
Mostly though, I just enjoy talking to people about what inspires them and what they are passionate about, because it inspires me to try and do more, to actively try to be more creative, to try harder, work harder, and feel better about being alive. The world needs more of that. After 3 years of trying to make some level of impact on the lives of others through various YouTube channels and never getting anywhere; I decided to leave all that behind, and try something entirely different here.
A very special Thank You to @NerdWireWiki (Cofounder/Admin of the LBRYans United MeWe Group) for being the one to tell me about LBRY in the first place about 3 weeks ago now. ??? Also, a big thank you to @CryptoWorldHQ for having me on as a guest on his podcast (Crypto World HQ-On Spotify/Anchor.fm) earlier to talk about this project and my original passion, Music. Which can be found now on LBRY: Meatty Okra Music.
(https://lbry.tv/@meattyokra:8c)
It was awesome chatting with you and I hope to feature your channel here soon! Thank you to everyone else here for watching and anyone who left a tip! ? Lastly, to the creators of LBRY for having made it at all. I look forward to making more stuff here for you all to check out, and to hearing back from all of you as well about your creations!
Cheers! ??✊
The Revolution has begun!
