"you can't reward a DLive user without rewarding DLive."

This does not make sense.

If you upvote someone on steem and that person also uses youtube, are you also rewarding youtube?

Come on.

Most people that "wont be rewarding users that continue to use dlive" were never part of the community when they were on the steem blockchain. But now that they are leaving they want to virtue signal and try to manipulate content creators trying to get them to only use steem.

I see you are also on wordpress.... Come on.

Content creators create content on multiple platforms and in doing so spreads out their audience. That is just good business.

I am done with the pettiness from the steem community that only cared about the dlive community and what they do with their content AFTER the announcement.

Sort:  

Indirectly, yes. Anything that promotes them rewards them. As upset as a lot of people are with youtube I'm sure there are some who won't upvote youtube videos either.

It isn't about the rewards or using multiple platforms so much as it is about how these particular services are perceived to treat the community/their customers.

And yes, this is the internet and people tend to overreact. That's not unique to the steem community.

All that does is prove to me that this isnt about content but politics.

Which is one of the largest criticisms of steem.

Thanks for proving it.

Not sure what I'm proving. It's not about politics, it's about not supporting a service you feel has treated yourself or the community like crap. What DLive did made a lot of people feel that way, especially given the large delegation they received. You don't feel that way, fine. Different people, different opinions. I don't have particularly strong feelings about it myself. I haven't intentionally voted for less DLive videos than before. Honestly, I would expect DLive creators to be more upset by DLive's move than anybody else.

I don't broadcast live videos but I do upload various videos from time to time. It used to be that Youtube was the only place to do that. They made it clear that they don't really care about the "minnows" so to speak so I started seeking alternatives. I tried DTube for a while but found it unreliable (may be better now, I don't know). I settled on Daily Motion instead. I still use youtube but it is secondary now and that's not where I share videos from typically. If you don't like how a service is running their business you vote with your wallet or your feet. Unfortunately, in the case of DLive, their user base was somewhat tied to the Steem user base and now they are divorcing it so to speak.

As I said, personally I don't care if someone continues to use DLive as a creator. I won't but I didn't anyway and I don't see any reason to penalize content creators for it.

Ohhh I am sorry, you were just bringing up the fact that others will do that, I apologize.

Yes, some people will be flagging content creators that stream to both services (some already have) but, in my opinion is petty amd more harmful than any positive that will come of it.

If good content creators are downvoted and pushed away they will just leave.

I personally want more quality content on here, not less.
