Well I just got somehow used to d.tube after I heard about it from you.
So with that move of you now a motivation for me to also dig into other steem platforms. At least that keeps me busy (unintended pun).
Your move is understandable as I noticed disappearing "old" videos already at other channels, but I had not found an explanation till now.
It's good to have someone (even better a witness) that's not only praising the good parts but also points out and discusses bad items that need improvement.
Agreed. It is possible to keep the videos up by pinning them on your own ipfs server, but then you can just as well add them to a steemit post (at least link, embedding is probably also possible?) without giving 25% to dtube. The whole point of dtube is that they keep them up - but they only use 10% of the 25% you give to them to keep them up, so 2.5%... If a real big youtuber comes over here, thats sufficient to keep it up for quite a while, but otherwise...
