RE: STOP WITH YOUR FAKE ENGAGEMENT
The background noise is crazy!
Anyway, in the defense of those faking it, I think everyone is working an angle. Let's me be honest most of the people here won't make it on YouTube or any other platform. This is a relatively small platform and has a community approach to it. We support each other even if we don't care about what we do. Comparing dtube to YouTube is really not fair in the sense that there are different metrics of weighing a quality video here on dtube and YouTube. On YouTube you get to see views. You don't get paid, that's if you dont have that many people watching your videos, so the only compensation you get is seeing the number of people who view your post, which can be depressing if you're not getting those views, and some comment. YouTube runs an attention economic. Here on dtube it's different, its more about earning steem than anything else. If I have to fake engagement to earn my coins, so be it! Really we can't pick or choose here. What drives dtube is the earning prospects and one can only do that by creating content or commenting on one.
I fake engagement. I'm not shamed of it, its really not as disgusting as you think. This is a relatively small community and its hard getting feedback--every content creator needs feedback. That's the only positive reinforcement for one to stay motivated. Yes I see some videos I don't like but if the said person is really putting in effort I will definitely leave a comment.
Addressing the link777 project. One of the requirements is that you leave three comments. Sometimes it's hard finding 3 worthy posts. But dtube needs this engagement. We do not have that much quality like YouTube. It will take time to achieve that, but here we are conscious about our growth and if we do need to force engagement for the betterment of this platform I see no problem with that.
You might not care so much about earning because you're quite comfortable. However most people who use this app are really in need of those insignificant coins. Understand their position. That doesn't mean you should compromise your stands but at the same time it will give you a boarder picture of the state of dtube and steem
First of all sorry for the background noise..
I really don't understand this mindset of supporting each other without caring about the content itself.
What's the point then of creating content if no one gives a damn about it?!
i'll just film ants walking on the road everyday and i'll also self comment on my content, Because hey STEEM coin is what matters..
What's the difference of a quality video on YouTube and DTube ?!
It's the same thing, If you make a video that provides high value to the viewer then it considers a high quality video on any platform.
The only difference between DTube and YouTube is the payment system..
On Steemit you get money not only for creating content, But also on engaging with the community. But it doesn't mean that you can MILK the system and fake comment on other peoples content to get some STEEM. At least that's my opinion..
If you're not getting feedback for your content then you're not working hard enough for that feedback.
Trust me if you'll create high value content, People would come and comment without even thinking about earning STEEM..
What do you mean i'm quite comfortable ?
I'm a creator just like yourself..

I do not agree totally. We do not have the numbers or diversity to actually have our contents appreciated here. For example my dtube experience. Any video I make that @nathanmars doesn't resteem not get comments. I've been on steem for 5months and I will honestly tell you that I earn more from lazy work than actually hard creative work. I'm a storyteller and poet, people don't care much about these things here. In fact, if you're not talking about steem most times, it's hard to get any attention here. So really its just about understanding how here works. My believe is that as the wealth of steem is distributed more equally we will begin to see more quality as people won't have to lick arses to earn.

Sadly this is how things work here. I've seen some very cringe worthy upvoted by dtube account. So the question of quality or caring about the things we post here is really dicey. Some people are going to get upvoted no matter what they do on here and we cannot change this.

The only way around this is having more quality people joining this platform, an equitable distribution of Steem's wealth so power is not centralised. If we all had 1m sp to upvote we won't depend on dtube central account to reward us. We will do what we want, upvote what we like, and downvote what we do not like. We will all have the power to determine the fate of this platform, which is impossible giving the way things are.

The difference is here quality doesn't matter if you dont have huge sp or following does with huge sp. Look at our trending page, does it look like quality? Go to YouTube and see the videos that are trending, its a totally different game.

DTube will never be like Youtube if people are engaging for money... The Steem was built to reward you FAIRLY, not to milk the inflation
Dtube will never be like YouTube because it is not designed like dtube.
And if I may add, we are all making the reward pool. You videos dont get to earn a spot on the trending or top section because of quality but the upvote you get from dtube central account. Minus that and more than 90% of dtubers wont exist. If we should follow YouTube model then we will need to implement the views feature--where you get to see the number of people who watch your video and that will determine what you earn on this platform, how would you like that? If that was the case then most of us will earn nothing.

I will throw more like on this in my next video today...
