How does someone create an account a few years ago and this is their first comment?
Although this is actually this account's second comment.
Would love a quick explanation of what this is, especially after clicking through to "Learn More"[0]. I don't want to watch a video, I don't want to read an essay, even the FAQ[1] (which wasn't exactly prominently linked to) doesn't seem to have a "What is LBRY?" anywhere.

I haven't figured this bit out yet. I suppose something like a web browser plugin should be on their roadmap if it's not already available. I'd imagine the plugin would yield the LRBY credits to creators in order to browse the content.
The FAQ describes how LBRY is distinct from Storj and IPFS et al, but not mentioned is steemit -- it has a similar concept IIRC.
It's sad how "good looking" demo pages have turned me into a robot, ignoring everything that doesn't satisfy my preferences and therefore result in me missing out of a huge amount of valuable information.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, but they will just be randomly generated strings, that doesn't really sound appealing. Also they don't exist yet.
That FAQ article is old and I'm going to update it to point at https://lbry.io/faq/naming . You can get names as short as: lbry://name#a Where #a can actually be that short. If you want a name with no identifiers or filters at all, the voting system will continue to be used.
I recall lbry.io being posted here before and there were concerns around the naming system, where anyone could take control of a particular name just by giving more money to it at any point. There's an FAQ up ( https://lbry.io/faq/naming ) which addresses this concern, and I think the system that they have designed is fantastic. It seems fair, although I'd give a slightly longer time period for a "counter-bid" person…

mrkgnao: These two goals -- being subject to the DMCA (and similar laws), and promising a predetermined, immutable set of rules -- are incompatible.
developer2: It's AOL keywords with a bidding system - for any site or service.
The also generated some comments here, though most were focused on the Berkely issue rather than LBRY:

I had a bit of a tough time finding this previous discussion since it was flagged. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12418081 mrkgnao: These two goals -- being subject to the DMCA (and similar laws), and promising a predetermined, immutable set of rules -- are incompatible. developer2: It's AOL keywords with a bidding system - for any site or service.

Am I the only one who looked at the page for 2 seconds, clicked learned more and then went back here again?
