Yeah people talk about how DTube is gonna knock Youtube out, GFTO, not happening anytime soon. Youtube has some amazing content and has lots of long form content and very well produced content, things like Vice Documentaries are a favorite of mine. Your just not gonna find that type of stuff on DTube/Steemit. The fact we can only earn for 7 days doesn't really make it worthwhile to create long form content for here because you earn for 7 days and nothing after that where as on Youtube they are gonna keep making ad money forever. As it stands now DTube and even Steemit to some extent, at least in my opinion and for me personally is only worth doing if your also making content for another platform. I make Youtube content so I can come over here and post it here as well. If I wasn't on Youtube highly doubtful I would be making content for Steemit which pays me maybe $1 per video if I'm lucky.
Youtube also has an amazing algorithm. I can start watching one Youtube video and 6 hours later realized I've gone down the wormhole of watching one video after another after another. I dont find myself doing that on Steemit or DTube I really have to seek out content I wanna watch.
