When Steem was $2-$7 you saw people from Youtube stream over to DTube but now that the price is down most of them seem to have gone away.

This also brings up and show cases a major issue. If these DApps etc don't provide value to steems overall price but instead simply awards steem to people whos only intention is to cash out it is a major train on the cryptocurrency.

There has to be income/value behind these apps besides just the steem token otherwise it will simply keep dragging the price down.

Another way would be to simply provide an incentive to buy and use more steem such as paying for promotion services to promote your video in front of more people on the main page.

It honestly all comes down to ad rev and rev coming into the system otherwise it has no value lol
