Thanks! Yeah, if DTube doesn't store anything long-term, that makes it kind of terrible for a long-term content platform. Good to know.
That is a pattern I've kind of been sensing about the structure of STEEM in general... it seems like its algorithms really put the most value on short-term clickbait over content that remains relevant for years. But maybe DTube's current retention process has less to do with that bias and more to do with the site operators not yet having the massive storage capacity needed for permanent video hosting, I don't know.
