		kauffj on Nov 12, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: PeerTube v2 You could look at LBRY (https://lbry.tech https://lbry.com https://beta.lbry.tv). LBRY is similar to PeerTube in open and decentralization, but all content metadata is written to a blockchain, which means everyone/anyone can access the index. This blockchain can then be searched (https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse) or extracted to SQL (https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery).

Sadly, LBRY isn't able to track view counts. Which makes organic, network effects really difficult.

Maybe they could implement a naive "view tracking" by having the client do small proof of work when they interact with content?
