RE: DTube Sounds like a Gay Porn Site
I agree that its too much having another account especially when I haven't got any traction on the first one. Its also a big leap to have a video only page because i wouldn't have enough content. Maybe a video on Steemit every once in awhile would be more my style.
Youtube is also hard to compete with as of right now because of how successful it has gotten in recent years. The only thing that could make it fork is by becoming less connected and more catered to projects with a real budget. Then we would see a platform for people who just wanna upload home videos.
I really hope Steemit doesn't sell out either. It has a lot of potential to grow and now with facebook's true intentions being brought to light the world might need a new place to connect.
Yeah people talk about how DTube is gonna knock Youtube out, GFTO, not happening anytime soon. Youtube has some amazing content and has lots of long form content and very well produced content, things like Vice Documentaries are a favorite of mine. Your just not gonna find that type of stuff on DTube/Steemit. The fact we can only earn for 7 days doesn't really make it worthwhile to create long form content for here because you earn for 7 days and nothing after that where as on Youtube they are gonna keep making ad money forever. As it stands now DTube and even Steemit to some extent, at least in my opinion and for me personally is only worth doing if your also making content for another platform. I make Youtube content so I can come over here and post it here as well. If I wasn't on Youtube highly doubtful I would be making content for Steemit which pays me maybe $1 per video if I'm lucky.
Youtube also has an amazing algorithm. I can start watching one Youtube video and 6 hours later realized I've gone down the wormhole of watching one video after another after another. I dont find myself doing that on Steemit or DTube I really have to seek out content I wanna watch.
