Well I'm number one fan boy of @dlive and I love the fact that you can use them for hosting videos. However I tend to use them more for the live streaming and then if people miss my stream, they can watch the recording.
I hate YouTube with a passion LOL Oh hate is a strong word...Let's just say if two companies went away I wouldn't shed a tear....Google and PayPal LOL
I do really appreciate what @dtube has done lately with their rewards. You are right, it's very rare to get an upvote with them, I think I have gotten 4 in 6 months of being here lol But the dtube rewards is pretty slick.
So I do use dtube for my videos. It's not perfect, but I think they are improving. Would love to see them support more creators with upvotes though.
Lol, I know you are! And thanks to you I've been able to experience some of the live sessions hosted on their platform. I really like the format of it and will likely start up my own live series myself. I will also upload pre-recorded videos as well.
And I agree that the rewards that Dtube is doing now is really cool. I have to give them a lot of credit for doing that. Just wish they wouldn't take so much from the authors. Dlive has shown that it's possible to run a video platform on Steem without digging into users pockets. I also love the Dlive team and their interaction with the community. That goes a long way with me.
I think eventually dtube will move off of the Steem blockchain, at least into an SMT. Then they'll hold more stake and won't need to take rewards from users. I think that'll be a much better business model for them. Should allow them to do a lot more as well. But until then.. 25% it is lol.
Yeah man....Love Dlive. It's the best community support bar none.
I think the dtube rewards does help lessen the blow from the 25 %. I enjoy getting those STEEM payments every week for sure.
