Hot Steem Apps Series :#4 Dtube(Tutorial inside)
Have you ever wanted to upload a video on Steemit and may be earn some money from it?
Do you have a passion for teaching people New things like cooking,dancing,yoga etc?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above,then Dtube is for you.Let me take you through this awesome all that you can also use to earn money on Steemit.
If you have been on the internet for long,you must have realised that the popular video sharing website is YouTube!
If you are not familiar with YouTube then am worried of how you have been living or surviving,because literally anything you want to learn or know about is practically on YouTube!
What is Dtube
Dtube is the first decentralized video sharing platform that has taken the world by storm!
Yes I said it....Dtube is shaking the YouTube community and many big folks are flocking Dtube from YouTube.
Let me now quite below the recognised definition of Dtube!
Dube is a website that stores movies based on STEEM and IPFS. Its task is to provide a similar experience to Youtube at the same being the safe and resistant to censorship alternative
This amazing video sharing platform was dveloped by @heimindanger when YouTube channels were being demonetised(this means channels which used to earn money for the owners were stopped).
You must be all knowing that Google owns YouTube hence controls it and can decide to do anything with it! The creation of Dtube coincided with the mass closure and demonetisation of YouTube channels that made YouTube creators to look for other options of earning from their work.
The biggest challenge many YouTube channel owners faced is censorship! You must be knowing by now that Dtube is decentralized and has no censorship limitations unlike YouTube.You do not know how Youtubers were happy to discover Dtube that sometimes even pays more money than YouTube!
Dtube runs on the Steem blockchain just like many other Steem related apps.This means you must have a Steemit account to use Dtube.We all know that to use YouTube,we must have gmail account.I am seeing Steemit becoming Google of sorts in the near future!
How Do I earn on Dtube.
As i said earlier Dtube runs on the Steem Blockchain.This literally means that you earn from upvotes on your Dtube video as you would on Steemit.
It has to be noted that Dtube takes 25% of the rewards for your Dtube video for Dtube development purposes.I will not dwell into this now,i would advice you to go and read more about it for yourself!
How Do I Login To Dtube
This is single most question i recieve in regards to Dtube and am going to answer it today once and for all!
As i said earlier, you need a Steemit account and your posting key and not master key.Always resist from using your master key outside Steemit and be keen on websites you visit that resemble Steemit.
There have been and continue to be cases of phishing attacks on Steemit of late.Phishing can literally mean a link that resembles Steemit but when it's not! I have read posts here warning us of such sites.
Let me say it one more time,never use your Steemit master password outside Steemit!
