I'm not versed in GitHub etiquette, but this (possibly not) bug really involves the lbry-android-sdk repo.
I've opened an issue on there lbryio/lbry-android-sdk#8
I'm guessing it's the intended behavior.
The gist of it is that the "Participate on the data network" doesn't mean "save blobs in the blobs directory".
Right now (as far as I was able to comprehend the code) blobs are saved in-memory ,
meaning that you start from square one each time you start the lbrynet service.
while watching a video - blobs will aggregate in-memory , and those in-memory blobs will be shared with others.
