What is Dlive ? What So Special About It!
So since i just gave a small intro about Dlive and said other more established names in the scene offer the same services why should you make use of Dlive instead of the services others offer? The answer is pretty simple and its the following. Based on my knowledge in the Crypto sector Dlive is the first decentralized video streaming platform based on Steem and it works just like Twitch and the rest of the other big name streaming services out there.
Since Dlive is decentralized that means that there is no big named company such as Twitch, Youtube etc.. taking your profits or bossing you around on there terms and conditions after all it is us users who bring them PROFITS so why should they take most of it when its YOU who is generating it for them?
Dlive has a solution to that problem and here are a couple of reasons why you should start using Dlive
- DLive will take 0% transaction or commission fees from its users. its completely free and all profits are yours to keep
- No annoying advertisements will be displayed during the live stream so relax those ad blockers you got running everyone
- Dlive runs on a blockchain this makes it safe, secure and free to use
- We can do micro transactions without any hidden fees or any fees for that matter
- Users are awarded curation and creation rewards just like on Steemit
- Your live broadcast is automatically recorded and you can upload it so that viewers can watch it
