In my post I set the narrative of:
Understanding Video on HIVE.
So obviously the two leading providers determine the status of that. Neither can challenge YT obviously but then BOTH are/were pushing that angle. Trying to be an alternative.
I see it as a BIG negative that HIVE would essentially push one out over the other. Isn't decentralised meant to allow competition and multiples of services?
Don't take the brown nosing comment serious man just like you I speak openly and I opened with that for laughs. The rest was serious though and I take your content seriously. That's why I read your posts often. You're one of only a few that express their view without reservations.
That's why I also made the point that the issues need to be discussed on Hive. This thing isn't going to go anywhere by CLAIMING IT'S SUPERIOR but then anyone that researches a little discovers that it's not quite so (YET).
I see 2021 as a pivotal year.
HIVE's coming of age and the completion of what "SOCIAL WITH REWARDS" could be and should be. So... will that happen or will the community continue to be made to think it's going to happen? See, some win either way. So it's a very important measure of the true future of Hive. Not the speculative dream that so many here are clutching on to.
It takes a lot to piss me off.
I can't think of a time I was actually mad on Hive (3 years).
Is Hive pushing one out?
How so?
The Dinger refuses to build here by design.
Confirmed in this thread.
2021 will be interesting to be sure.
Lol well what I wanted to know is why the split. I've tried to dig in to why DTube fell out with 'the gang' but it seems much of that discussion is on discord and such. All I can find is the angry aftermath.
As a non committed (to the rewards game) user I just think it's a negative to limit service providers on a system that promotes the decentralised mantra.
Like I said though I don't know how it all happened but would you not say that "banned from Hive GitHub" is getting pushed out?
Huge fallout during the hostile takeover.
dTube lost its huge delegation from Steemit or something... rampaged ensued.
It was a pretty bad look.
The witnesses were basically blamed for their actions leading to the loss of the delegation.
Also I'm not sure if he got an airdrop due to witness votes and whatnot.
Lots of spitfire.
Yeah that's what I see as the aftermath but then I think coders were tight enough to be able to work out those differences and move in unison. Back in the old days DTube was a gem of steemit coders. There was also collectively many more coders back then so on that topic...
I wonder if blocktrades actually has this large team now? The video updates show that the cohesion between them isn't really showing "team" because even howo had to be briefed on the second layer idea. Then to find out blocktrades himself is working other non-hive projects makes it even more mysterious as to how this team operates.
I only say this because to make the claim of "we have the largest team in crypto" is a big statement. One that then should mean that this chain should be moving faster and that the Blockchain world needs to know Hive is muscled up as a challenger.
This is what then leaves me a little perplexed about Hive. IN HERE... BIG talks. OUT THERE... not much talks. WHY then... Why significant Hive heads are so quiet out there? See.. that's why I conclude: either shy/not confident to flex or its because that talk is only to the loyalist. To retain some community and keep that money train moving.
I'm not at all saying coders here are EVIL or not building. I just think this thing is less about the people/possibility and more about the money.
