Don't sweat the downvotes, sometimes they're done because "disagreement with rewards" or plain simple dislike of the subject matter for whatever reason (in which case hopefully they'll bugger off and not come back) and sometimes they're because someone or some curation group or curation group that used to be a bidbot upvoted you or because you have sbi shares and someone else is fully salty about that for whatever reason.

DTube (and ipfs in general) needs people pinning/helping host to work, generally the more people that pin something the faster it's served. DTube's loading/playback problems seem to be mostly people not knowing how/wanting to help out and (probably) only being hosted on one server with a few people demanding it and also competing for server resources (there may also be other technical issues that I don't know about).

Amusingly as I was typing that and wondering if they would support webtorrent (much easier to set up) and apparently they do (I found a video and I hate video tutorials so I'll watch it if I get really stuck trying to figure it out).

This video appears to be playing fine (I didn't play it all the way through as I'm supposed to be cleaning and stuff ^_^;). Looks way too cold over there XD
