"The truth of the matter is, @dtube is lame. I have never gotten it to work and it would appear that engagement is extremely low on that platform. "
Agreed. Alt media is having a hard time with censorship and shadow bannninng with Youtube. Steemit and Dtube doesn't have the real human (not robot) traffic compared to simple easy to use working platforms like Real Video, Gab Video and Bitchute which most free speech advocates have already adopted.
It's kinda sad because most alt media platforms want to moneytise their content to keep them going.
"let's never talk about @dlive ever again. I hope they burn in crypto hell for all eternity. How's that Lino bull crap working out for ya?"
Not understanding why Dlive deserves hate. They are perhaps the best working Steemit app out of them all and they're a proper business. It will be the first blockchain related (centralised or otherwise) streaming platform to take on Twitch and Mixer. Lino doing well is a good thing as Steemit needs competition. SMT's and EOS are not going to happen.
Yup, @dtube is just weak.
I do have to point out this post is a case of #badreviews, so I do exaggerate things. One of them being the "hate" for @dlive. To be frank, what they did was a business decision.
It should have been another wake up call to STINC that their platform is not up to par.
Back to the point of being centralized. Does it have to be blockchain-based? It seems silly that people have begun to slap blockchain on everything like the latest fad. That's just my opinion.
Blockchain paying related content like Steemit is important for a new paradigm. We should not be controlled by sponsors or corporations for what we should be paid for our content. That's a new human given right.
I'm not bothered if it's centralised but these new companies cannot be bought out by some Bilderberg company and destroy good things as Youtube and Skype was. If Lino can do what Steemit hasn't then great. If it makes Steemit Inc do some work then even better.
We shall see how that plays out. Influence can always be exerted, directly or indirectly. The only difference is that people like us will at least have a bone this time.
