While I also have a Youtube channel, I have posted some of that same content on Steemit, very easily I might add. I just don't see why I would need additional intervention (third party) that does not increase my earnings. Now if DTube implements its own search engine and things are well categorized, it will work fine as a library. And unless it becomes a income generator, I don't see making the additional effort. I will continue to post my videos directly to Steemit. Besides, there seems to be some real concern about storage capacity or bandwith or something that keeps things moving real slow on DTube.

hey @retiredinsamar I am trying to wrap my head around the same thing. While it looks like a well built project, why am I going to use 2 seperate sites when I could use one?
I know to some people who hate Youtube you can host videos at DTube but not Steemit so that's one perk but at the end of the day Youtube doesn't really take down content, they just don't allow certain types to be monetized so I don't really see any advantage there.
I tried Steepshot a while back and I had a similar complaint, why would I use it as opposed to just steemit?
One advantage I can see which you alluded to is maybe better organization of content and better search functionality as I think currently that is a huge weakness of Steemit.
Another benefit I think is that its ONLY video content. Say I'm in the mood to consume content via video and not read and not see a million photo challenge posts. I can go to DTube and only see videos and skip text and photo posts.
