For others like me who were wondering what the site hosting this video is, it's apparently a peer-to-peer file host with some blockchain thrown in to make it a marketplace. You can read their "About" page here: https://lbry.com/what

(The about page was frustratingly hard to get to, I had to navigate through four pages before I got there.)

This is mentioned in the release announcement (https://lunduke.com/posts/2020-05-28/):

> For the first week, Linux Sucks 2020 is only available (for free) via LBRY. (After one week it will become available everywhere else as well.) LBRY is a great fit for Linux Sucks – Open source and DRM-Free.

> You can watch Linux Sucks 2020, right now, the following ways:

> - straight from the LBRY.tv website

> - or (even better) you can install the LBRY application to download and play the DRM-Free video

I second the comments over at [0]: it's not terribly clear what they're going for, or why they're offering a client to download. Is this meant to be a web-based solution, or not? That 'what' page you linked is just awful. Endless rambling.

Their web video hosting seems to work well though.

If you scroll down to the bottom of "modern" web sites the about link is in the footer.

Only if it's a good one, the bad ones will just load more content before you're able to click anything in the footer
