Blockchain-based YouTube has potential to be censorship-resistant alternative

There may be only two factors that really count in a Blockchain-based YouTube competitor:

The number of viewers
Decentralization which achieves an appropriate amount of censorship-resistance.
The soft-spoken but rapid initial rise of DTube.video appears to be achieving at least a limited amount of both. But a dearth of traffic data on the “site” itself – and the fact it has not yet been tested or long-avoided by the predatory Feds – means we can’t be sure of either. Nevertheless, there is heavy interest in the brand-new platform, likely to translate into future viewers.

DTube runs, at least in part, on the zero-fee Steem blockchain and can only be accessed via Steemit account. This threw me off at first when I tried to register. Anyone who rarely uses Steemit will probably be just as confused as I was about what a Steemit private posting key is. This probably would have sent me into “eject-and-do-something-productive” mode if I hadn’t been writing this review. The founder indicates there may eventually be a way to fix this, but for now a good start would be to at least place some sort of message or link on the login page which explains “what is this?” Meanwhile this link explains how to access your key.
