RE: Just Heard About Bit.Tube Today - What's the deal with it?
Yeah, that seems weird how they are paying for IPFS hosting. I don't know how they can keep them up. And how are creators paid bittube coins?
It is unfortunate that Jordan Peterson didn't choose DTube. Either he doesn't know about it or decided on BitTube for some reason. I dunno but the publicity for DTube would've been great.
But their interface is way better than DTube's. Something should be done about that.
Hey @kenanqhd long time no talk buddy hope your doing well. Yeah my issue with all these projects is money just can't come out of thin air to pay creators. I got into a discussion on Reddit and someone told me they plan on rolling out advertising. Whether theiy plan to start their own ad network like SMOKE plans to do or whether they go with an established network I'm not sure.
I like that plan because I think ads are necessary to bring in real money, nobody is going to make money if crypto itself is going to be the monetization plan and nobody is going to make money if your peers need to support you, you need advertisers IMHO.
That said how do you keep the platform from falling into the same issues as Youtube which is being beholden to advertisers and censoring certain content advertisers don't like? Do they just plan on telling advertisers look come advertise here but its a free space so if you dont like whats being posted fuckoff and take your ad money elsewhere. Personlaly I don't think that's a horrible plan we are what we are if you wanna advertise here cool if not dont
