RE: Stop Posting YouTube Videos On Steem

in #dtube5 years ago

I dunno, it'll take me some time to process this and only time will be the true judge of whether or not this is successful, but I think that this could ultimately tank DTube. So many sites that don't require the use of being on a blockchain or integration with something like steem seem to be jumping on the bandwagon of doing so because it's the 'hip' thing to do, right now, to have the word 'blockchain' or 'decentralized' lumped in with ANYTHING regardless of whether or not it makes sense.

Those of us that are here and are commenting are the .0001% of internet users who are ahead of the curve, and instead of doing things that make the process of posting our content that we've created online MORE complicated (and unnecessarily so!) we should be instead focusing on providing solutions that deal with the growing threat of censorship and shadowbanning/manipulation on behalf of places like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. 99.9%+ of the 'normies' who are browsing the internet, they JUST want it to work. Even young people in their 20s find cryptocurrency stuff to be far too complicated to use, hence the popularity of stuff like coinbase or cash app for purchasing BTC, which is the best you might be able to get them to do in most situations.

Want to build a successful site? Focus less on adding in features that very few people total will ever use and that require more time to develop/maintain than to be worthwhile, and instead, build a site that has videos with the ability of being viewable of over 480p resolution. Also, your idea that certain videos should be uploaded to DTube or YouTube or whatever even confused me, and I've been around on Steemit since it first came out (though I'll admit, the lack of activity had me only return recently to see if things had changed). Also, livestreaming is the most important and fast-growing aspect of video sites, and thus far, dlive is the ONLY one that seems to be trying to make an attempt at tackling this, though they aren't doing the best job to be honest.

Just my thoughts.
