3Speak is already just as decentralized as Odeyesee. Odeysee is not true decentralized because they are eun by a company and can delete your account.
But if you leave Hive your account will always be here. It cannot be deleted.
We will be here that's your decision.

3speak is a company.
LBRY has thousands of miners all around the world - Hive has less than 100.
Yes it is. But 3Speak is not Hive either.
LBRY has all those miners and still LBRY Inc is a company who owns the largest share of the LBC.
3Speak the company and website is merely a front end to Hive. You can view 3Speak videos on other places than 3Speak.
LBRY your choice is desktop app, mobile app or Odeyesee. When the focus of the company is to drive users to their Odeyesee website IMO that's not supporting a decentralized web.
But LBC isn't proof-of-stake, so that doesn't give them the same kind of power it does on Hive.
There's also an audio-centric dApp and an ebook-centric dApp being developed by third party teams.
As far as proof of stake, that part of the blockchains I dont understand. I understand about how a blockchain works and why. But all theses weird accronyms -dpos, defi, pos, etc. Just makes my eyes glaze over. I dont understand that stuff. I dont want to understand it at that level. Super low level. I just want to know that my account cant be deleted.
I didnt know about the third party apps. Thats nice that someone is finally doing something other than LBRY. They've tried to get people do that for several years now.
That was alway one thing I liked about the lbry protocol. It can do video, audio and text files. I just didnt like that it all seemed to come from one place. I can rmember when LBRY was just a fresh beta app available only in the Ubunut repos. I tried it and it would barely work cause there was barely 50-100 users back then. I didnt check it out seriously for a couple of years and they had the first release of the Anderoid app.
Dont get me wrong on all this. I wasnt hating on the protocol or LBC. I just dont like a few things about them as a company. The tech is fricking awesome though.
