Yeah, d.tube have a great platform but there social responsibility of propping up the newcomers lacks a lot to be desired.
If the message is to come here and earn more than your YouTube gig then you need to see some rewards for your effort or It'll be just better to stick it out on Youtube, and hope the tide changes.
Remember you can continue to earn on YT long after you post the video, so if you don't earn money in the first 7 days on d.tube you absolutely are better posting on YT instead.
I for one earned $1000 on a YT video 6 months after it was published. You can't get that on d.tube.
