I am just starting out with video when I found Dtube. The biggest investment I have made is a new microphone. What I can tell you is that if there is any video content not related to Steem, Dtube or Crypto on this platform I have a hard time seeing it. As someone stated, it seems these platforms are a crypto circle jerk.
I have promised myself I will give it a year, but beyond that we will see. Until then, I will keep trying to improve my content the best I can.
I would agree, though it only makes sense with the platform still in beta, and the different apps fighting for user attention.
I am trying to do both. I want to make content that is not just "Steem is great" but that also helps the platform gain exposure. I will probably start some of my content with dtube/steem related stuff, but then slowly branch off from there, but still maintaining my loyalty to the dtube platform! We will see what happens I guess!
Best of luck. I plan to continue doing the same for computer repair, maintenance and security topics. I just need to start filming in a better environment besides my recliner :-)
