Rewards are still being given to the users who actively use LBRY or Odysee.
If LBRY is rewarding content creators, then by buying LBRY we essentially support those content creators, right? It seems that market is not really liquid tho.
The creators will hardly feel the support if you do that way. To directly tips/supports the creators on their content page or channel page should be the way to go.
Anyway, I don't know the current LBRY foundation state regarding content creators' rewards, I don't know if they are still rewarding to those who sync their Youtube channel into LBRY. As of now, if you are want to support some creators, best to directly tip them(

Where can we see how much some of the creators get rewarded?
Don't know where and how to specifically find it but

Any comments on recent censorship towards Russia? Facebook and BBC are now unavailable in Russia (it's probably a blessing tho), but people might want to seek for the alternatives. Is Odysee/LBRY viable alternative service for Russians?
Personally, I believe the lbry protocol may give them a viable anti-censorship content, though, I don't about the future viability of it, nothing their government said they will only use russian based DNS, as in result, they may be completely limited from the outside internet world(CMIIW).
