They really need to work on marketing and poaching youtubers but I am guessing devs want to have fully functional product before taking a shot at the big league . Anyway we are going for a long run and with crypto world expanding and showing stability we could see lbc in top 10 coins.All that is left for us is to increase our bag by trading on 2-5% coin price oscillation 
But why would youtubers come to this platform? Big youtubers makes good money and why would they start from the bottom again? It's great idea but I think it will be hard to get users because youtube is just youtube. Everyone knows youtube, people make good money on it, why would they go to other platform?
So it will be more profitable also for youtubers with 1 mio. + subscribers? That would be great but you need to download another application on computer and that means more work. It needs to be simple for massive adoption.
I think you need to pay for some things on LBRY to see and why would anyone do this if you have free content on YT? I mean it LBRY could be huge and I will cerainly look into it, but for now I don't know why I would prefer LBRY to YT. I will read whitepaper and some stuff and come back if I change my mind
