DTube is still an echo chamber of creators. Compared to YouTube where for every creator, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of consumers that ONLY consume. Until the consumers arrive, we're effectively p*ssing in the wind. If/When the consumers do arrive, they won't be able to watch the videos we're making now anyway (they'd be unavailable like all my stuff that's older than a month).

If you ask me, you're better off appeasing the big DTube god, getting that cryptopaper, and forgetting about engagement until the crowd arrives. Controversial point of view probably :)
