DTube 0.9: Doubling up your rewards

The DTube team has always been focused on creating a real usable product before doing any fancy announcements.

After so many months of research, developement and testing, DTube 0.9 is upgrading the concept of decentralized social media.

In this article:

Post from URL : you can now post videos and livestreams from a URL
- For curators: share a video from any platform on the web
- For creators: double your earnings with tokens and advertising
New blockchain : Get a DTube account and try our brand new decentralized economy on the public testnet
Vote on tags: tags now accounts in the tokenized monetization
Promote: burn your DTC to rank up your posts
Create your own DTube: in partnership with Steem Engine
Search engine: Search, related videos and tags navigation is fully functional again

New Feature: Post a video from a URL

Starting today, DTube is making a drastic change by allowing any user to upload almost any existing video from the web.

Instead of forcing you to upload a video file, re-encoding it and sending it on DTube's IPFS nodes, we now allow you to simply paste in a link of a remote video to get it included in DTube's video catalogue.

The currently supported platforms are numerous: YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, LiveLeak, Vimeo, Dailymotion. This change can seem very counter-intuitive for a 'Decentralized Video Platform' at first glance, but it actually has too many pros to be ignored:

IPFS file upload remains the same

A big chunk of DTube's user-base cares about decentralized file storage. These users love us and support us, so we feel bad when we see complaints about queues for our IPFS uploader in our discord.

However, most of our users don't need anti-censorship features. These users are very often already using centralized video platforms. By allowing these users to offload some storage from us, we will actually have more space and less queues for whom it matters.

It becomes easier to publish on DTube now

Everyone reading this knows the pain of a new user on STEEM or DTube. A new user being able to try DTube without having to go through the pain of a full upload will increase users retention.

It works with livestreams

We disabled our own livestream feature a while back when we realized associated costs and maintenance required. If you put a YouTube live or Twitch stream link, you can now have it displayed and ranked in DTube.

Many centralized video platforms offer monetization via advertising services. As DTube is now compatible with these platforms, it indirectly enables our users to monetize their videos with ads if they want to.

Sharing also creates value

While STEEM has originally focused on original content, most likely thanks to the high percentage author rewards in the distribution mechanism. But we want DTube to be a place where anyone can feel welcome and participate, not only video creators.

@dtube will keep voting on original content

@dtube is a powerful account in the ecosystem, and it is our duty to use our stake to influence our users behaviors. We do not want DTube to become a site full of reposts, and we want to reward our real users. This is why our upvotes will keep going on original content, while we observe the changes in behavior associated with the new features.

Introducing a new economy focused on content curation

We are introducing the public testnet of a totally new blockchain codebase in this update. The DTube chain is strongly inspired from STEEM, but is actually a totally new codebase. It's open source and available on GitHub.

The Why

Our experience running a successful Decentralized Application (DApp) on the Steem blockchain and gathering feedbacks from our users gave us valuable insights on the limitations of this technology and on how to improve the current model.

Introducing DTube Coin

In our model, the token (DTC) that generates voting power is fully liquid and tradable, and the Voting Power never caps, even if you go inactive for five days or more!

DTube chain now powers DTube's content discovery

DTube 0.9 requires you to have a DTube account to have your videos listed in any content discovery mechanism (new/hot/trending/search/feed/notifications).

Long story short, we believe STEEM's rankings to be stale and easily manipulable (bidbots, curation guilds, etc). The whole purpose of this new economy is to have better rankings and overall quality, so keeping the STEEM rankings would make little sense.

That means everyone is reset at 0 subs!

It's a harsh change, but it's easy enough to re-subscribe to your favorite content creators. It makes sense to have a separate subscribe system, you might like someone's blog or memes, but you might dislike his videos.

DTC monetization is instant and infinite

On STEEM, your videos can only generate rewards for 7 days. This discourages creators to go for the long term rewards. Not all video contents are made to become viral, think about documentaries or tutorials. These contents rely on long term monetization to be able to exist.

On DTube chain, monetization of contents is infinite through time, and the DTC rewards associated with a vote are distributed instantly.

100% curation !

The DTC is 100% distributed via "curation rewards". The way these rewards are calculated is slightly different from STEEM, taking into account the popularity of the content before the vote. For example, if @bob upvotes a content now, and @alice has already upvoted this content before. @alice will only earn curation rewards from @bob's vote if her vote was cast when the content was less popular than now.

Forced self-upvote

On DTube chain, you are forced to self-upvote your own content. It will not self-vote on STEEM of course.

You can do a very small vote if you wish, but then you would earn less curation rewards for your content.

You can now spend 100% of your VP in 1 vote

Be careful while using the VP of your DTube account. On your DTube account, you will spend your whole VP in one single vote if you at 100%. If you want a similar experience to steem, we recommend setting the default vote at 2% for your DTube account. If you want to visit DTube less regularly, 5-10% should be good.

New Feature! Voting on tags

Instead of creators having control over the tags of their videos, it's now curators who control them.

If you are logged in with a DTube account, you should discover a new button on the video page.

As this tagging feature is associated with your vote, you can only tag once per content.

The original uploader can also choose one tag, but more tags will have to come from different people.

This feature should create a lot of dynamism in the search engine and tags navigation, and create a new way to use voting power 'for good'.

Burn DTC to promote a video

Similarly to STEEM's promote feature, you will be able to burn your DTCs to promote your videos. The amount of burnt DTCs will increase the power of your self-vote, increase the position of your content in the rankings, as well as increase your future curation rewards for this content.

This feature has been tuned down a lot during the testnet, as the DTC is a testnet coin and virtually worthless.

Sending DTCs

You are able to transfer DTCs to any other account, either by going to the channel of the user, or by clicking the 'Gift' icon on any of his videos. Transactions are fully validated once included in a block, about 3 seconds.

Becoming a DTube leader

In the side-menu of DTube you will discover a new 'Leaders' page. This is the equivalent page of the witnesses for STEEM, except these leaders rule the DTube chain. To become a leader, you will need to run a node, and collect enough votes to reach the top X. X is currently set at 7 and will grow as time passes and real leaders show up. If you are interested, feel free to join our discord channel and send us message in the #chain-leaders room.

Get your own account from Steem

You should instantly spot the difference from before, but you can now login with a DTube account.

To get a DTube account, you need to:

Login with steem
A message will appear asking you to claim your dtube account
Do the 3-step procedure

You will get 100 DTC

The DTC is the DTube Testnet Coin. Holding more of it increases your voting power and influence in the network. However there is no need to 'power it up'. We want everyone to be able to try our new economy during this public testnet, so everyone can get 100 DTC by doing the claim procedure and start generating voting power.

The search engine comes back

Since the shutdown of AskSteem.com, our search engine for DTube has basically been down. This meant that tag navigation, the related videos, and the search were all completly broken.

Starting from today, all contents posted on dtube chain will be included in our self-hosted elastic search engine. It should also work better and give out better results than before (especially for tag navigation).

What about STEEM then?

If you stopped reading the article here, you'd probably think DTube is doing a 'LINO'... We could have, but nope.

Interoperability

DTube 0.9 is compatible with both chains. As you publish a video, a vote, or comment, your action will be posted on both chains. The only removed part from steem is the content discovery.

You will earn both STEEM and DTC in parallel and your video will still show up on all other STEEM UIs as usual. You will also keep earning author rewards of course!

This is a unique feature for our DApp. Most other DApps seem to focus on using a single blockchain and a single model. The future is a multitude of blockchains (or other techs) with different features and properties, combined elegantly into powerful UIs.

STEEM brings in a lot of features (much more than dtube's new chain). And we need some of them, such as author rewards, a semi-stable coin, the staking mechanism, etc...

Empowering Steem-Engine tokens with ScotTube

A preview of what is to come very soon is available in the top-right menu. If you are a member of the PAL community, you can try using DTube with the PAL token. This will serve as a quick beta of this feature, the real pal-tube website will follow, as well as details on how to get a scot-tube with your own token for your own community. This mean you can not only earn STEEM and DTC with DTube 0.9, but also any steem-engine token with proof-of-brain distribution.

Steem Onboarding is limited up to 31st July 2019

The DTube chain is reserved and limited to Steemians until this fixed date. Until this date, only the @dtube account will be able to create accounts, in order to prevent malicious users from stealing popular steemian's names and impersonating them.

After the 31/07/2019, anyone will be able to create a DTube account for someone else by burning some DTCs, directly from the DTube UI.

This is why you absolutely need to claim your DTube username now, while no one else can, otherwise you risk losing your username and channel.

Deprecations

We are deprecating SteemConnect login, we recommend using private posting key or the keychain extension instead. We are also deprecating DTalk (the private message feature) and the live streaming feature. These experiments brought us valuable information on what needs to be done to make these features possible in the future. They are likely to come back in a different fashion sooner than later.

The road to mainnet (DTube 1.0)

Our team has redacted a complete whitepaper with every single detail you could ever need. If you think this article is a bit too light, feel free to read the full thing here

Another blog article will follow in the upcoming week. Explaining the complete details for the DTC token generation event.

We expect this update to come with it's share of bugs or annoyances. Please report any bug or suggestion, either in the comments or on our discord server.

As mentioned previously, 0.9 is a public testnet for DTube's chain. We estimate this period to last for about 1 to 2 months total, depending on how it goes. This is a unique chance for you to be able to try a new crypto game before the DTube Coin becomes tradable on markets, seize it!

When sharing videos from Instagram, sometimes the thumbnail disappears, and DTube for some reason doesn't enable us to upload new thumbnails for those videos.

@drutter(73)· 2613d
"A new user being able to try DTube without having to go through the pain of a full upload will increase users retention." You admit that your website is painful and difficult to use, but instead of fixing that, you create a way around it - allowing users to embed videos they (or somebody else) has already uploaded elsewhere. Why not just make your site less painful and difficult to use? THAT would be a REAL upgrade!
@elsociooficial(59)· 2613d
my question is next the DTC tokens you have through this period are real will stay in our accounts? or the tokens will be erased
@valued-customer(75)· 2614d
This is an amazing update, and demonstrates extraordinary rational thought and dedication to Dtube on the part of those that effected it. Kudos!

One issue struck me withal as of considerable import, and bewildering complexity. Presently, there are multiple chains and tokens that are affecting content on Dtube. Steem, PAL, DTC, are all impacting the platform, creators, and curators. It's likely that your prediction for more chains, tokens, and content streams are going to eventuate, and this will increase the complexity and potential discordance going forward.

There needs to be some straightforward and easily comprehensible mechanism for folks to negotiate how to deploy their tokens on Dtube. Some menu driven object seems required so that how much of what token is used to up or down vote can easily be chosen.

Sorry about the multiple comments. I did try to delete the first one, but for some reason was stymied by Steemconnect. This brings up another issue, which is Steemconnect. Presently I use Opera browser, and have been unable to get Steem Keychain to work, leaving me with Steemconnect as the only option for login. Apparently, this is becoming a problem as your OP indicates that it will be deprecated (I am not a dev, but dimly grasp that this means it will not work on Dtube anymore. Please confirm or correct this for me), and that means I won't be able to login on Dtube.

None of the mainstream browsers (IE, FF, or Chrome) are suitable for me, and Opera has proved to meet almost all my needs with facility, so I'd prefer to stay with it. Can you advise as to what steps I will need to take to be able to login on Dtube, whether Opera will be a viable option or not?

Thanks!
@valued-customer(75)· 2614d
I'm still working on reading through the full OP, but when I saw this, I had to comment.

" As DTube is now compatible with these platforms, it indirectly enables our users to monetize their videos with ads if they want to."

This is brilliant. The adpocalypse has financially destroyed many good and substantive creators. By enabling them to link to their content on politically manipulative platforms, they can monetize that content on Dtube, and the sanctions on their content elsewhere are moot. As long as their content is not deleted on the original platform, it can be searched, commented, upvoted, and monetized on Dtube.

I feel that proper marketing of this feature, particularly to creators that are being suppressed, censored, and demonetized, can both make Dtube rapidly become a standard addition to other platforms attempting to control social narrative for all content creators concerned about those manipulative degradations, but also make Dtube a target for those tools Big Tech has to harm platforms. ISPs, Domain registrars, payment processors, and more have all been deployed against platforms themselves to enable censorship and economic suppression.

Please give this latter problem close attention, so that you can be prepared with means of resolving such assaults by the Big Tech alliance intent on total narrative control. I recommend studying The Pirate Bay, which has demonstrated decades long resilience to such incessant attack.

Now, I'll go back to reading the OP.

Thanks!

@kennyskitchen(77)· 2619d
I don't know if it's been brought to your attention already, but the new version of dTube doesn't allow for adding more than one tag, and because it creates the permlink with the tag you choose, but actually puts dtube as the first tag... there is literally no way to edit the posts any more.

I've tried it on steempeak, steemit, busy, and all give the same error. Now my post has only 1 tag (meaning WAY less viewership), AND I can't fix the screwy formatting that dtube always does (putting the video at the very top and the link to the video at the very bottom), or any other issues there may be with the post...

I dint really understand all of this before as a new person to Steemit and Dtube but now I really dont get it. I dont understand why you removed all the tags from Dtube and why it is only good for 7 days on Steemit. The content I post has no tags at all that even remotly represent what I Blog about and the videos i upload but I am still new maybe I will figure it out if I spend more time on here. The one BIG question I have is you talked about running Ads on Dtube and video monetization? How does that work or is that only driving the traffic to You Tube and the other platforms.
@freddio(60)· 2620d

@luca1777(69)· 2621d
Hi Dtube, yesterday i claimed my Dtube account/name, but on the last of the three steps, Dtube starts "freezing" like when i was trying to upload videos to Dtube from Mozilla Firefox (my first choice). And yesterday during the claiming process i was also using Mozilla. Today i couldn't upload with Mozilla, but just managed it with Opera, and also the new URL-embedding from YT worked with Opera... https://steemit.com/music/@luca1777/5rugft6omgn In the past, i could only upload successfully with Googles Chrome, wich is my last choice, and i really try to avoid. So, is Mozilla Firefox not working with Dtube ? Right now my channel looks like this: Please have a look, where it got stuck yesterday, in the last step... because of Mozilla? I would like to see my Dtube channel, because i also got direct link buttons to dtube on my page: https://www.luca1777.com/ Is DTC like Pal now? Seperate but linked to Steem. When does it make sense to only log into Dtube, the videos are always posted on both chains, no matter where i log in, right..? Thanks for your time Luca1777
@mrzinblack(49)· 2621d
I'm trying. But there is a bit difficulty to upload my video...
@nathansifugaming(69)· 2621d
On live streaming, how would that work exactly? Just put the link to the Twitch live stream in the upload section? Would the post self terminate after the stream is over or would I have to delete it myself? How would I (or others) discover live streams? Will there be a live streaming section added to the side bar (I’m on mobile at the moment in case there is already a big obvious live stream button I’m not seeing).

Long story short, we believe STEEM's rankings to be stale and easily manipulable (bidbots, curation guilds, etc). The whole purpose of this new economy is to have better rankings and overall quality, so keeping the STEEM rankings would make little sense.

Amen to that. I've been so wearied by the stuff I see on Trending with the vote selling / vote buying circlejerks. We need a new era on this platform.

I'm all aboard the @Dtube train! Just got my green screen, mic and plan on cranking out some creative content once I finish up some things for Steemflagrewards. A few ideas:
- FlagTV: An Abuse Fighting Videocast
- Revenge of the Bionic Banfields: Narrated comic where Jerry Banfield seeks his revenge on Steem with his Banfield bot army in the year 2045.
- SteemHistorian: Dramatic retelling Steem history w flag wars
I know it's pretty ambition. I'll probably start with one and work on my skills for there. I see Dtube as an excellent opportunity for me to incubate my video production talent. I have the creativity. Just need a bit more procedural knowledge.

I did recently acquire some server hardware so may also be interested in running node as well. Going to look into this more when I get home. Really cool.

I like that you now can have a different avatar for DTube than Steemit, that's actually pretty cool, and considering that videos uploaded to DTube are only hosted for a limited amount of time I like that you can now have them stream from places like Instagram and YouTube, while still having the option to upload directly to DTube. I also like that DTube has it's own token.

However, I am disappointed that comments made on DTube don't show up on the Steemit article, and one of the things I liked about DTube was how I could just use it as part of Steemit, and on the DTube page (in the top right slide down menu) there was a link to my Steemit blogs. I would have hoped future changes to DTube would have made it easier to go back and forth from the DTube page and Steemit articles. The new changes for me have taken away or limited those aspects of DTube that made me prefer it over BitTube and BitChute. I also don't like that DTube subscriptions are separated from following on Steemit, I wish there was an option on DTube to just look for people you were following on Steemit separately from DTube subscriptions.

Hopefully this is a temporary glitch, but also, I've been finding that now DTube seems to (very often) forget that I've logged in and forces me to log back in, only to tell me that I can't log in because I already have.

Personally I'm hoping that future upgrades will keep the new features like the token and sourcing videos from other sites, but also restore what was lost such as the manner DTube previously interacted with Steemit, or preferably improve the ease that you can go back and forth from DTube and Steemit. It's always been easy to go to DTube from Steemit, as the DTube related Steemit articles always have a link to DTube, I'd love to see the opposite where you could go directly from the DTube video to Steemit.

It may be me but I still find steemit and DTube a bit complicated. Hopefully with time I'll understand better.

There is no better time to get platforms like DTube rolling, youtube is becoming a bit harsh on creators.

Will DTube stay decentralized or can it be taken down by interest groups or governments?

Cheers,

@sonius94(59)· 2622d
The last time I used DTube is a long time ago. I had one main problem: After some time (a month maybe) you weren't able anymore to watch your uploaded video. I disliked that behavior. Is it still like that or can I now also watch videos that are already older?

And another question: Is it as uploading user possible to delete an uploaded video later again?
@coingecko(71)· 2622d
Glad to see these updates of Dtube and the fact that the team is hard at work to innovate and improve the app to better serve your users.

Hello I am still pretty new to all of this and now that you changed it basically everything I learned is useless. I am having a issue claiming my username I have all of my keys but it keeps saying they are wrong can you please give me a idea of exactly what key I need to use and how to go about claiming my username. I can still use my keys to login to Steemit and the old DTube platform so I dont understand what the issue is. Thank you
@edgarare1(68)· 2622d
It sounds really interesting @dtube and it is good to know that your project is working very well..!!

Okay I know what the DTCs are for but how the hell do you get them?
@acredwine(56)· 2622d
Kinda got caught off-guard with this update, but I'll give the new stuff a chance. That being said, please give users the option to upload avatar and banner pics DIRECTLY to DTube in the next update. Using a third-party is not how I like to dress up my channel page.

I'm having a hard time claiming my name. Everything worked fine Downloaded my keys. I go into login into the Dlive. it says invalid key. I can still login with Steemconnect. though the other is not working. I'm guessing, I lost my account? since there is no way to regenrate a key, if i can't login. oh well. lol
@cardboard(65)· 2622d
Love the fact that you can see your VP in real time :) Just a quick feedback: the default vote from d.tube account should be probably around 10%, not 100%.

When setting the default vote power, probably some explanation would be helpful how does this work for less techy users.
@sisygoboom(65)· 2622d
I got no message about claiming an account?
@rosher72(54)· 2623d
Holistic transformation, Fantastic indeed! I believed this is only the beginning of a more progressive D.tube and surely it will surpass its own accomplishment in the past. Bravo, excellent!

@frostyamber(64)· 2623d
This is great, hopefully I can get this version to work for me, none of the previous ones have allowed me to upload a video, they always locked up every time I tried. :D

I did note one minor grammar issue under the description of the what the VP is for. In the last sentence you use the word "influent" but it should be "influential", I'm not trying to be a bother, just thought you might not have noticed as proofing your own work is difficult as your mind knows what you're trying to say and sometimes sees it when its not actually there. I hope you don't mind my mentioning it. :D

God bless you and all those that work so hard on these platforms, I'm sure you don't get all the credit you should, I couldn't ever do it as I'm tech challenged, but I do appreciate all those that do. :D

Have an awesome day! :D

@danmaruschak(76)· 2623d
I'm trying to go through the account claiming process. The first step seemed to work fine, and it looks like it updated my steem account with the public key, but the verification step, which says it can take up to two minutes, has been spinning in a "please wait" state for half an hour. It's not clear to me what I should do next. Keep waiting? Try to start again?
@revisesociology(82)· 2623d

@flauwy(74)· 2623d
Amazing news and so much change! DTC sounds like something that could really be fun to use. I don't mind it is not on Steem. You guys seem to have created a bridge between coins and that is awesome.

Will the DTC that we earn on the testnet be transferred to the live version or do we have to start from scratch again? @heimindanger mentioned an airdrop, how does that work and who will be a beneficiary?
@steemitboard(66)· 2623d

I'm not quite sure what was going on. I went through the claim process twice and I can't log in via Dtube. I can log in via Steem, but the "claim" account process isn't working.

@ratatoskwestgoth(70)· 2623d

@hgn66(46)· 2623d
I think you may need an option on the platform, for the videos that are reposts. Because as soon as you repost a video (claiming that is not your work also), it is uploaded on steemit too and it can be considered as plagiarism. So this kind of videos should be just on Dtube.
@flugzvamp(44)· 2623d

@vegawesome(69)· 2623d

@drutter(73)· 2623d
I'm a simple content creator so a lot of this is complicated jargon to me. It sounds like DTube is separating from Steemit to some degree, which is cool. I'm not really sold on the tokens, we'll see.

I have to admit the upload from URL was a bit disappointing when it turned out to just be an embed, but otherwise a lot of great updates!

Publishing videos hosted elsewhere is a great feature.

I was able to get cross-publication on d.tube and STEEM working after some doing. So that's good.

I don't understand the need to create a completely separate blockchain. It seems like this could have been done on STEEM with just your SCOT.
@mamun123456(73)· 2623d

All this people here said the truth about dtube. That's great. ☺
@nonsowrites(76)· 2623d
I think it is a step in the right direction. I'm not too comfortable with the 'post from URL' option, for the sanity of this place.

I think exploring ads would be a good thing in the future.

I had an app is in the works, I'm patiently waiting for that. However there is an app on Google playstorr I use to upload my videos when the site isn't responding (dtube client), would it still be functional after this change?

I have claimed my account.

This is a great update, the truth is that if it brought a lot of trouble loading the video (it was impossible to publish daily) since one day it was fine and the next day no longer, introducing this load function through a link seems great and also give us the opportunity to have power within Dtube, I can not believe it ...

Thank you very much Dtube 😍

I am really surprised about this upcomming update. Even, when the hf 21 will decrease the authors rewards, we shoud still earn some DTC and it seems ok. I just need claim dtube account and start my journey on 0.9! Of course now will be much easier to search quality content!
@therealwolf(77)· 2623d

@matkodurko(66)· 2623d
Wow...I especially like the point with infinite monetization on DTube chain! As you've said, educational videos are not meant to be viral and I've always even questioned my decision to publish those...DTC makes it more worthwhile now :)

Question: But that means people can upload any youtube vid with link? I already see random music videos on DTube landing page..Im justy wondering if content from other platforms won't push out the original DTube content out of the "trending" DTube page.

Amazing updates @dtube! Massive respect for integrating with the Steem blockchain. This wins a lot of support in my eyes.
@arabisouri(73)· 2623d
At first I was excited about the platform and started uploading the video files I still had after YouTube terminated my channel, then later I noticed that older videos stop to play, especially after the third week. I thought it was just for some of the videos then realized it's the same for all videos, so I stopped and rarely uploading directly here. Had to buy a subscription with jetpack, my site is WordPress, so instead of making some money I'm now paying money. Wonder if this could ever be resolved or it's just my videos facing this issue.

I just have a couple of questions.
1. So from today after claiming our username the accounts won't be resetting anymore right?
2. From today and when it comes to the @dtube curation team. If we start uploading our original videos using the new Dtube will they be curated by the Dtube curation team?
3. Even if the videos are originally created for Dtube would You guys prefer to have that videos uploaded on Youtube (for example) and shared in the platform using the link or uploaded directly using IPFS on the platform?
4. This is related with the previous point. If an original Video is uploaded on other platform and shared with the link on the new Dtube will it get Curated by the Dtube Team or videos shared with a link will not get curated by Dtube?
Thank You guys ❤

It was critical to me that you didn't leave steem so much as built additional functionality with your own curation mechanism that matched your business needs.

A lot of the concerns you mention make a lot of sense. And I'm glad to see you've learned from the mistakes of another dApp! You made a very wise decision here. And you've found ways to make it work, it seems.

My one suggestion: see if you can develop an app that would allow people to set up their own IPFS node easily. If water there's a ton of people who would love a simple interface that is easy to implement and use. Set up a box in a basement with a TB or three of storage, point it at your site with a simple app, assign a folder directory, and let it go. I bet you could get a decent number of people who would gladly step up, especially if it's a lightweight app.

This is really really fantastic and for what I am waiting from Dtube. Dtube has alot of potential and with constant development really grabs a high place among DApps. Thanks for the developers for giving us chance to express ourselves and making this place so awesome.

Now we can invite musicians and artists as their videos can earn for infinite time 😄. That's what every one needed .

And the best thing is steem trending or bidbots 🤪 will not reflect on dtube

Subscribers are reseting to zero, those who follow you on steem are not followers on dtube

Only if your video is great then only you will get good rewards
@teamhumble(74)· 2623d
