YouTube's Days Are Numbered - D.Tube Is THE Blockchain Solution To Censorship! (interview with the creator of DTube)
In 2017 YouTube tried to silence, shadow ban and memory hole just about every content creator who was going against the status quo and challenging the system in anyway.
The "YouTube Adpocolypse" as it became known seemed devastating at first for those of us in the field of independent media...until the free market responded by building a new video sharing platform built off the steemit blockchain designed to give back to the very creators who build it up with payments in the form of SBD or cryptocurrency know as "Steem Dollars".
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth interviews the creator of this revolutionary website Adrien
who goes by @heimindanger on Steemit, about some of the recent updates the DTube team has made (including an exciting announcement about a new upcoming feature) and about how blockchain technology is currently disrupting traditional centralized platforms in favor of uncensored decentralized platforms.

Hey Dan, thanks for the interview with @heimindanger. I agree, DTube is a game changer. However, you shuld look into the proof-of-stake of Steem. Currently it has the easiest way to demoneytize content. Imagine the government buying just one or two million Steem Power (which would increase the price a bit but not much). They could flag your posts just like this and they would be down to zero. i think this is still a huge problem with Steem. Sure, this is no true censorship because your content would still be on the blockchain. But you would be back to square, just like with YouTube.
I am not saying this will happen but since it CAN happen we should really make sure sure that there will be a change of the blockchain code in the future making this impossible.
I totally agree with you on this. Since the government has alot of money they can chose to join the community and take control by buying as much steem power as possible and there are no measures taken on Steemit to stop one person from monopolising the whole system.
The good thing is that this is open source and we have talented people who can counter any attempt like this by changing the code and make the flagging system not based on proof-of-stake or let it work differently. So even though we should be aware of this issue, it will not bring down the Steem blockchain. It would only be temporary.
am guessing it would be something like a tiny bug in the system haha
I think if the content is liked amd upvoted by many members of community and if only one member is powring u down then it could be tracked down and may be black listed.
Wouldn't it be more likely corporations like Google's Aplhabet or Facebook would buy a lot of steem with an anon account and do what you're saying.
As we know, Operation Mockingbrid was conducted by the CIA in the 50s to infiltrate and control media. So, it stands to reason there are already plans for these trolls to influence this network.
But, I am going to hold out hope that they are much too far behind the times and too concerned with controlling legacy media for them to make a difference here.
Granted, I did state in post about not being able to get into my Dtube account with my Steemit pass code that perhaps I was experiencing a cyber attack against Dtube.
This is already a game changer and has immense potential to disrupt the current system of control and censorship many of us are finding ourselves in!
Absolutely!
you are right
Exactly with current situation they will experience low patronisation
Thx for this Dan!
i love you guys, i love D.tube , i got also the dji osmo full package with all the accessories to get some videos on D.tube i wouldn't do that for Youtube
Thanks for the work you do, And the fact that you build the future.
I think also D.tube will change a lot
With YT censorship... it's a matter of time!
I agree Blockchain is the future, but i disagree about youtube days being numbered. As because these r giants in there field and may adopt blockchain technology very soon.
Great...
I fully agree and I personally am so tired of the selective censorship used on platforms like YouTube and Facebook. I just got done doing a post about how YouTubes recent Partner Program change is going to push a lot of smaller and newer content creators off the platform and how many of those users may in fact start to filter into Steemit and Dtube in the coming weeks... Should be interesting!

Gratitude for sharing that link, it help me connect the dots even further...I am one of them content creators too, for I got that horrible email from Google/YouTube and asked for help here on STEEMIT! https://steemit.com/youtube/@wellnesshero/can-steemit-help-this-content-creator-youtube-is-not-paying-up-for-ads-and-i-only-have-30-days. DTube here comes @wellnesshero !!! And am grateful for the nudge from big bro, even though the connection to steem it started in 2016, sometimes takes awhile for a part time creator to make these BIG changes to a new platform. No worries, better late then never!
