I agree with you that we take in conclusions of the experiment, and rework a real social blockchain from scratch. And I actually came to the same conclusion more than a year ago, and did my own stuff for DTube. You will surely find this article interesting.
Also, do you have a github repo for your new project?
No Github repo just yet.
Thanks for the link. Really interesting curation algorithm. I'll have to learn a bit more about DTube :)
I have a suggestion @theoretical, (and I was also an very active user that went quiet...and more than any other emotion, I feel sad too. So sad. Lots of potential, squandered for all the reasons you listed)
But .. onto my suggestion. I have no idea if this could work or not, but I've suggested it for steem before and ... well... LOL maybe you can/will use it!
I kinda love how discord let's everyone use it for free, but then for extra features, lets people pay to upgrade .
As for steem,I understood why it was necessary to introduce RC's into hardfork 20 - but it was such a harsh and jarring jump...it killed the FUN of commenting and socializing. Especially for all the energetic, new accounts that brought all their "new, starry eyed" contagious personalities. We lost so much when we lost them.
I wonder if having other cool "paid for" upgraded features would lure people to invest for fun reasons...instead of making them feel "punished" for not spending more money.
I've played phone games before that I swore i wouldn't pay for - but I had so much fun playing...it became easy for me to pay for the in-app upgrades over time.
I think if you give people options, and show them what they're missing out on...over time, more people would "spend" their earnings/investments on upgrades and special features
Plus...it creates that sense of healthy competition too. Wanting to 'level up' with their friends... Showing off their new upgrades to the community... Etc.
This way people who are new can still enjoy the basic interactions in a relatively unlimited way because the more powerful accounts pay extra for extra features.
There are more ideas that can kinda spin off of that, but I've written long enough lol so..if you like it, take it and run with it :)
Really interested to see what you develop!
Take that sadness and turn it into the power to make something new, different, and worthwhile!
Following you :)
Hi, circumstances have changed. Delegations belong to Justin Sun now, not the community.
I disagree. Even though I realize that rules are basically off, I don't see why I should do that and destroy a trust cycle that has been going for 2 years + for dtube and its delegation.

And it will remain that way. If you want to talk more about it come on discord.gg/dtube and chat me private.
dtube has lost a lot of trust already by allowing posting on Steemit copypasta of not own YT videos and rewarding it.
Integrating with 3rd parties platforms has always been part of dtube's plan. Next version will showcase why better, hope you will give it a look when it releases.
The YT videos that we upvote are all original content from the community btw.
There have been dozens of accounts that have used someone else's videos without specifying that the videos are not theirs. They are not owners of these YT vidoes/channels.
Examples maybe? I can rectify it if it's really the case
