Is dTube better than YouTube?

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


In the past week I've made more USD per video from dTube than I made on YouTube in the past year...

Watch the dTube video above to see what I think about using dTube as a content creator compared to YouTube.

Here's the other dTube video I mentioned: First Travel Vlog on dTube

Thanks for watching!

Depends on your perspective. In terms of image quality, sound quality, and features, YouTube is fantastic, but in terms of getting rewarded for your efforts DTube can't be beat. My YT channel isn't monetized because that wasn't my first objective, but the need to game the system to get my videos seen is a turn off, and that is ultimately what motivated me to try DTube. Looks like you are well on your way, good luck!

I agree with you on all points actually. I assume dTube will increase their capabilities as it grows - I'd love to see 4K video etc on there too.
As for gaming the system, that's the trouble now with YouTube. I feel like it used to be a meritocracy where creating premium great videos would get the most views. Now I don't feel like that's the case at all and lots of quality videos by good creators just get ignored.

I only shoot video in 4K because the other resolutions do not produce good low light image quality, and I don't control the lights; I get what I get. The draw back to that resolution is that the files are huge. There is too much competition on YT and they seem to favor the bigger channels. I think it ties in with the search engine algorithm where the "well established authority" on any subject gets a higher ranking and is presented first, and naturally gets more attention. That's where gaming the system comes in, but I don't really have time for that.

I just wonder what will change for Facebook and other sites the internet is buzzing on this site and D-tube
I am new so far i do not focus on the money i focus on the expierence but your right You tube is so dead when it comes to engagement i like it there but it is always about donating and this is why tv will always beat original content we need a platform like steem it to pay us for our contribution into the platform.

It's not a complaint, merely an observation. Eventually having 720p would be great as that is the lowest resolution my editor will convert to from 4K, this eliminates one step in the process. Greetings!

It's an amazing time to be part of the steemit platform. Especially since as of this writing smart media tokens have not been released yet.

dtube is the best !!

I can honestly see it becoming huge next year.

if the cryptomarket and the steem get more influence , yes dtube can make youtube useless.
I'm french , and in France, the cryptomarket is not really famous ,i think is 2% of the French know what is the bitcoin , just the bitcoin.

I watch your profile ,congratulation to quit your job and make your dream became true.
(and sorry for the my bad of level of english )

Unless you're Jake Paul or Logan Paul, dtube might just be better! Too many people trying to milk the YouTube Ca$h cow. Dtube is still young and vibrant!

Agreed. IF you're getting millions of views like they are then fair enough, but if you're a small to medium YouTuber/Creator then the rewards here are so much bigger!

I'd still post on Youtube every day or as often as I could if I were you. Also, it doesn't hurt to occasionally promote yourself on Facebook. I do believe that YouTube and Facebook are dieing platforms though. I see big time cable news and media companies taking over YouTube. At least that's what I've heard and the arguments supporting it seem plausible. YouTube rules are becoming less and less friendly towards the individual content creator. Even a lot of the YouTubers with a few million subscribers have seen a drop in their views.

Regardless, as a content creator, you've always gotta work your butt off to post relevant content. Constantly gotta keep upping your game. There's just way too much content being created. The competition is crazy.

In my fair opinion dtube needs much more to do. It can be better then youtube?

Well......if I'm asked this question....as a minnow...I LL say that YouTube is way better ...bcoz we surf there to enjoy ...without expecting anything ....and professional youtubers are happy with it....but D tube is a total mess....u got to be a Personality ist to make a coin out of it

Excited to be here for the future of @dtube

How do you earn actually on dtube? by view or like?

all by like, same as Steemit!

partner good job. follow me

Hey man - exciting vid! I only just joined Steemit this week and definitely plan on producing some quality content on D.tube. One question: The homepage and trending pages of youtube seem to have very little content and when you do a search it only brings up six videos; most of them being months old. Is D.tube just really beta right now or is my D.tube broken because it seems absolutely impossible to find any content on it. Thanks man.

I learned about Steemit from a tweet you did. After religiously watching your videos for months. I subscribed to your channel during Bali & Steph days.

I really need to get on DTube since I am also a Youtuber.
Love from Kenya.
Cheers!

Awesome I'm glad that I could bring you here! Honestly I think there are a lot more opportunities for people starting out on dTube rather than YouTube - my advice would be to start here! and of course cross post to YouTube too

I'm in the exact same boat here :) Thanks @thelifeofjord for sharing!

I am very hopefull Dtube works out. Bitchute works to a degree but as always as it grows it becomes difficut to scale up. It would be nice to have Dtube work better and faster but anything is better to the semi censored Ytube.
It my home that someday the people actually build their own networks and leave FB, YT and interner provider fade into the halls of history.

YOUTUBE HAVE SOME ISSUES THAT'S WHY I DON'T LIKE YOUTUBE.

The thing that I like about DTube is that it is not advertiser dependent on revenue like YouTube. So many YouTube creators saw a steep decrease in their earnings and/or had videos demonetized during the Ad Apocalypse if their content wasn't considered "advertiser friendly" (basically a form of censorship). I am thankful for Dtube, since content creators aren't as limited in the types of content that they can create on DTube. I don't have a DTube account but I am seriously considering creating an account after watching this video.

Lets hope that Truth videos can remain in the money so to speak, I would LOVE to reinvest to help wake up more people. I am so SICK of youtube and twitter and facebook censorship, the main problem is MOST people have NO CLUE LOL.
