Youtube's challenger on its way: Dtube & Dlive

---

Currently, we are bombarded with so many online generating platforms that proliferating in the web and it is very confusing which is which we are going invest our hard-earned $$$. And some of these platforms are not even asking for investment but just to be part of their system and you will earn $$$. Cryptocurrency is creeping into the business world and in fact, some of the huge companies were open to use crypto in their market and this is a great news for us cryptonians.

In this article, let us discuss the difference between Dlive & Dtube vs youtube. As we all know that youtube's presence in the net is already more than a decade and it gained billions of views, subscribers, and users alike. We can't deny that it is already part of the netizens life. But most of the youtube users never earn even a penny, they will just use it for socializing, communication or just for fun. There are also were earning huge in youtube and we will not discount it but the point is, it is just a fraction compared to the crowd of users that earned nothing. I am not discrediting youtube here but instead laying a fact that in youtube, we can also earn not just only for watching and uploading videos, socializing and etc. In order to start earning on youtube, we need to have a crowd of subscribers at least one thousand and Accrue 4000 hours of watch time.

But there is an alternative way to earn $$$ by uploading videos and making live streaming even without any subscribers/followers. It only needs an upvote from the community. Every upvote of different users counts as earning - the more upvotes the better (esp those upvotes coming from the whales). This is what they called Dlive and Dtube.

What is Dlive (@dlive)?

> DLive is the first decentralized live streaming and video sharing platform on Steem blockchain where you can earn rewards in Steem Dollars and Steem. DLive does not take any beneficiaries or fees from the people who have earned their rewards, so everything you earn belongs to you.

What is Dtube (@dtube)?

D.Tube is the first crypto-decentralized video platform, built on top of the STEEM Blockchain and the IPFS peer-to-peer network.
It aims to become an alternative to YouTube that allows you to watch or upload videos on IPFS and share or comment about it on the immutable STEEM Blockchain, while earning cryptocurrency doing it.
Because of the decentralized nature of IPFS and the STEEM blockchain, D.Tube is not able to censor videos, nor enforce guidelines. Only the users can censor it, through the power of their upvotes and downvotes.
On DTube, there are no hidden algorithms controlling the visibility or monetization of certain videos over others. All of DTube's data is public, and can be analyzed by anyone with an internet connection.
To deliver the best user experience D.Tube runs without advertising. Users remain free to advertise any product or service they would like, directly inside their own videos, at their own risk of losing their subscribers.

In conclusion, we can earn better and faster in Dlive and Dtube. It doesn't need followers and subscribers to start earning, all we need are upvotes esp from the whales who have huge SP in their account. Even the newcomers on this platform have a greater possibility to earn compared of that in youtube.
