Better explanation for bidding amount during upload #1034

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The text displayed for the bid amount of content during upload or editing is a bit verbose and confusing to users who aren't familiar with LBRY's naming system.

If you bid more than 0.01 LBRY Credits, when someone navigates to lbry://short-name, it will load your published content. However, you can get a longer version of this URL for any bid.

It is not clear what the "longer version of this URL" means, so the user is confused about what this is about, or whether the video will be published correctly.

Describe the solution you'd like A better description of what this bid entails, maybe removing the "short name".

Option 1:

The higher your bid, the higher the chances of your content being found during searches. The bid amount can be edited to any positive value after publishing.

Option 2:

The higher your bid, the higher the chances of your content being found during searches. If your bid is the highest, you can find it at the short address lbry://short-name

Currently the system shows you the highest bid that you need to beat, so this could be kept.

Option 3:

The higher your bid, the higher the chances of your content being found during searches. If your bid is larger than 1.5 LBC, you will be able to find your content in the short address lbry://short-name

Describe alternatives you've considered Maybe along with the text there could be a link to a video or FAQ explaining how the LBRY naming system works, or how the "short name" redirects to the winning bid by LBC staked.

Additional context This was reported on Discord. The user thought that without increasing the bid amount, the video would not be found by other users.

In the user's point of view, even if the bid was increased from, say, 1 LBC to 2 LBC (double), the message didn't go away, giving the impression that there is something wrong with the entered amount.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll probably hide this for now and try to make the text clearer.
