They've been around. One of the only sensible uses of a blockchain as well, LBRY.

Unfortunately it was susceptible to a particular demographic and after it rebranded to Odyssey they're were users who seemed to ramp up on the dystopian content and niche creators focused on it less. It could have potential, but like with most of these things there needs to be a user base of content creators that draw in viewers. The few YouTubers that also uploaded to LBRY just weren't huge.

Alternatively, I found a good 100 or so movies on there and myself uploaded some niche content like the Futurama documentary (just an extra from a DVD set that I'd yet to see on the internet - it surely exists but it's there again)
