No, I don't.
But as the flag is supposed also for "Fraud or Plagiarism" I feel right flagging your last posts.
It is harming for the platform DTube but also could get you in serious trouble.

So you do not work for Dtube, you are 17 years old and you feel entitled to use your superior SP in order to do what you "feel" is "right" for the platform and to protect me from myself as well. Right?
And btw, all my uploads are not "plagiarism" or "fraud". Sources are all clearly noted. I do not claim to have made or even own these films. They are for education purposes primarily and I will remove them if asked by their owners. Of which you are not.
And btw, most of those videos are freely available on youtube already. And no one bothers them - they see it mostly as welcome promotion for their official copies of obscure films (hence my name) which wouldn't otherwise sell at all.
Trust me on this, I'm a professional film director and producer, I know these things. This is seen as free promotion.
You really believe that making Dtube more restrictive and limited is going to help the platform while trying to compete with the established ones?
it is not what I might feel what is right for the platform as it is a film with copyright.
You are not allowed to upload this on DTube. It is forbidden.
Also it is not your own work. Text copied 100% from Wikipedia and film, you already know where it comes from.
As I don't want other people to find and upvote plagiarized stuff I just hide it with my flag.
And protecting you from yourself…
Each of my flags has a reason. Think about it maybe it will help you.
Again, most of those videos are available on youtube. I know what I am doing. Dtube will not survive if it does not offer content which is competitive with youtube or similar services. I am extra careful to post stuff which is strictly low profile - cult and obscure movies, old documentaries. This is for Dtube's own good. I do not post recent programs or films, or anything which might draw attention of the Big Players, nothing which is "current" in any way.
Sorry to have to pull experience again, but I work in these circles. I know how these things work, and I know why youtube allows and is allowed to have those films on their channels.
It is not a 100% thing, not by far.
If Dtube does not turn a blind eye to this kind of content, just like youtube does, or even more, it won't have any chance of competing whatsoever.
What I am doing is good for Dtube.
... and as for what Dtube says in its official releases and documentation.. what it is required to say... well take a look at comparable stuff from youtube then look at what you can find there on the channels. It is not that simple, not by far.
You can see this from several views. But uploading any films without any own work of you is plagiarism.
You can say it helps DTube or whatelse. It will not change this point.
And I can say you:
Creating issues with copyright is not the thing DTube wants to achieve. It is a platform for creators uploading individual content not copied stuff.
And if it is also on YouTube why should these people change to DTube ? They need new attractive content which is not on YouTube but only on DTube.
"And if it is also on YouTube why should these people change to DTube ? They need new attractive content which is not on YouTube but only on DTube."
Again, I worked with these people... And why should anyone switch from youtube to dtube when there are no documentaries or old films there? And much less original content?
No, this will not work. Dtube has to offer as much as youtube and then more. An average youtuber spends most of youtube time watching documentaries, listening to music or maybe discovering old, curious films and series. 20-30 percent of time is spent on original content. To be blunt, the mass of youtube viewers will not switch to dtube unless it offers nice WWII documentaries to fall asleep to.
But again, that's for Dtube owners and creators to decide, what their strategy is. But if they offer only strictly original content that is exclusive to dtube... it will not work. We might wish it will, but it won't.
Sorry, but you do not work for Dtube. What makes you so certain you know what Dtube should be about or for? Do you work for it? No. Do I work for it? No. None of us know what Dtube creators really want.
As for "without any work of my own" well, my expert curation and selection of these films from being MFA in film direction, not to mention finding good copies, converting, uploading them, finding good quotes (and honoring them).. it is all plenty of work - in fact I'd be paid well for this expert work on a TV channel for example... much more than anything I could earn from steem.
And i've been meaning to write short personal criticism/review of the films to go along with them... but I decided to add that later as just all I mentioned above is quite a lot of work. It's a film school basically. Educational purposes. I was a film student once and I remember how frustrating it is when you want to learn but can't find that obscure fantastic film you've heard about but hollywood doesn't give a damn anymore.
But I digress. What I do know is that neither of us know. So I suggest, as a compromise, that you contact Dtube in some way, discretely, and point my channel to them. If they tell me they do not want that stuff here, that it will be detrimental to their platform, according to what they have planned for it, I will gladly erase everything they object to - which will be more effective than any flag which makes content only less visible.
