You can use YouTube. And yes, this way you wouldn't lose out on the 18.75%. But let me try to defend DTube here, as I'm clearly biased.

With YouTube, you theorically need to read their 20 000 words terms of service before being able to upload a video.
With YouTube, your video gets sent to a centralised server, and you give more power to people who already have most of it.
With YouTube, if you video contains 6 secs of copyrighted content or more, ads will be added on top of it and money will go to copyright holders.
With YouTube, if your video contains non-standard political views, it will get removed.

With DTube, you will pay a fee, for now. But at least you have no strings attached, and you help me out to improve it to make it better.

Also, as @coldbolt mentioned, I plan to gradually lower the fees and finally turn the fees into an option, that you will be able to disable during the upload. Fees are only here so I can hire competent people (designer, developer) to build it faster, and increase adoption of the STEEM cryptocurrency.
