-# YT Sync Process
+# YTSync Tool
+This tool serves lbry to parse youtube channels that want their content mirrored on LBRY.
 
-- make sure you don't have a `.lbryum/wallets/default_wallet` 
-  - delete existing wallet if there's nothing you need there, or better yet, move it somewhere else in case you need it later
-- make sure daemon is stopped and can be controlled with `systemctl`
-- run `lbry ytsync YOUTUBE_KEY LBRY_CHANNEL_NAME YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID`
-- after sync is complete, daemon will be stopped and wallet will be moved to `~/wallets/`
-- now mark content as synced in doc
+The tool downloads the entire set of public videos from a given channel, publishes them to LBRY and populates our private database in order to keep track of what's publishes.
+With the support of said database, the tool is also able to keep all the channels updated.
 
-Running the sync command for a channel that was already started will resume the sync. This can also be used to update a channel with new
-content that was put on Youtube since the last sync.
