RE: D.Tube 0.7: Welcome to the HD

in #dtube7 years ago

We only activated SEO for video pages at the moment, which represent a large % of our total pages.

We plan to get channel pages, and our homepage indexed correctly soon as well ;)

Can we bring back 5 star rating system like Youtube had?

Hey I was talking to @elgeko and @fyrstikken on https://steemspeak.com about this and elgeko asked why D.tube can't just have he OLD Youtube 5 star rating system! People loved that system and we might get some serious competitive advantage bringing back all the stuff Youtube doesn't have anymore that people miss!

But how would that be compatible with the Steem vote system? If you set 5 stars, it votes it up? But what if someoen doesn't want to vote but wants to rate? What if they, by rating, forget that they can vote it too? What if by rating it, they feel like they've done enough to support the author and leave?

I know this post is old but what if the rating of stars indicated vote weight?

Then you would be upvoting something with 20% that you deem worthy of 1 star? I wouldn't want to give an upvote for that, or even a flag sometimes. I'd just leave it alone and let it die in peace.

Not necessarily. The stars don't have to be exactly 20% each. You could make 1 star 10%, 2 stars 25%, 3 stars 50%, 4 stars 75% and 5 stars 100% and then you could also include the option for a slider scale that would do a rounding estimate of all the votes (both sliding votes and stars) and display the mean rating in stars. So that would allow people to be specific with their votes, but also allow for a quick way for people to judge if they should watch the video based on the stars.

I personally think people should flag more often and not get offended by them. To me a flag means I'm not doing the best I could be and I didn't reach my potential with the post.

2 separate systems stars any one can use and voting for steem users only

Or maybe stars could be attached to the blockchain somehow. As you know, all posts have a lot of JSON information that says which app was used for posting, who the beneficiaries of the post are, etc.

Each comment could have a rating attached as a JSON format, so it would say {"client": "DTube", "is_review": true, "stars": 5}, but this would promote lower quality comments and I think that we have quite enough of those already.

yes fix the unknown errors for video uploads please, and thanks. Good work you guys are doing so far by the way.

I keep getting them for 5 uploads in a row and I have a 256 Kbps upload, such a pain....

Exactly :) Lovely updates and all, but the bugs are still there at the time of upload.

yep we have waited long enough, time for this bug to be fixed.

I also like Rick and Morty.

Fake dog, didn't woof.

Too many things which D.Tube should already be if it wants to be the YT killer.
Planning to do such a simple thing and the slow roll out of other simple things is a death sentence.
See, I DO like what D.tube represents.
But it's no where near where it should be.. specially when it valiantly attempts to sell itself as a giant killer. Belief is good. Delusion is dangerous.

Either simply be D.tube and be what you can be and grow.
Or end the attempt to lure others as the alternative. Many see the truth and that then actually hurts your image/product and future. Even die hards within this system acknowledge this.

YT is never going to die let all be honest, if you try you to YT you will fail BADLY, So I think DTube should be a competitor not a YT Killer, Source YT is owned by Google, Google not going anywhere anytime soon.

I made a living from youtube when I was 15. There is a small change that you don't fail...
