[LBRY](https://lbry.io) is a digital content marketplace where you can publish all sorts of digital content, either free of charge or for a set price in LBRY (LBC) credits. 

You can use LBRY as an alternative to Youtube or Dtube, published videos can be viewed through the LBRY app or via a web-browser, but it's not limited to video content exclusively. You could also use it to publish books or games, allowing you to charge for downloads. 

I've been following the development of [LBRY](https://lbry.io) for quite some time now and I've gotta say that I'm very impressed with the development so far. I'm seeing a steady increase in available content and the LBRY app is getting better and better.

### Free LBRY Credits

After you've installed the LBRY app, you will be able to get some free credits just for using the app. In total, you'll be able to earn around 60 LBC, which you can then use to buy content or as an investment.

LBRY is currently trading for about $0.07 on Bittrex, so you'd be receiving around $4.20 in LBC for free.

### Free & Paid Content
Currently, there's a lot of content available for free on LBRY. There are already some talented video creators who've joined and most of them share their videos without charge.

As LBRY grows, I imagine that more and more people will also put up paid content, which can be downloaded at a small cost. Allowing creators to earn for providing you with quality content. 

Keep in mind that you also have the option to give out a tip on free videos, this would incentivize creators to make their content freely available.

### Types of Content
At the start I was a little bit confused about what types of content LBRY accepted. When going through the app, it seemed as though only video content was available.

I later found out that you can share/sell just about anything. I've found some self-published e-books on there, as well as Photo shop source files for T-shirt designs. You can publish just about anything as far as I know. 

One thing to keep in mind is that only video allows for instant streaming within the app, other file-types are presented as a download.

### My Experience with LBRY
I've set up an account and channel on LBRY, which you can view <a href="https://spee.ch/@daan:d1132ff57d9dddd7c4c61e9f31cee356aa2d2392">here</a> without downloading the LBRY app. It does look a lot better in the app itself, they're still working on displaying the content better on the web. If you already have the app, just look for @daan. 

The whole experience of uploading and posting a video was extremely easy. I'm planning on publishing some blog posts there too, just to see what the response is. If I ever do start posting video regularly, I can easily cross-post them on Dlive and LBRY. 

I've also found a couple of great content creators that I'll be supporting on LBRY from now on. I'm not planning on leaving Steemit, but I'm certainly going to spend some time on LBRY as well.
