Vlog 296: Dtube changing it's economic model + Trying out dlive 0.7 for the first time.
Yesterday dtube released an update about their new curation and economic model.
Read the official announcement: here.
The 25% beneficiary reward dtube took to build dtube and pay for all the costs will no longer go to dtube itself but will be distributed to curators (of dtube content).
This is very interesting. Especially when you compare it to dlive's model.
Dlive doesn't take any beneficiary rewards for content creators. So content creators that wanted to maximise their own rewards were incentivised to go there.
But now...
Curators are incentivised to curate dtube content because you get more rewards for curating dtube content.
So this could mean that even though content creators 'lose' 25%, they could still earn more because more curators will be found on dtube.
And if you are not into curating at all you can delegate your SP to dtube and also benefit from the 25% curator rewards they give.
I think it's a bold move by dtube and I wonder how this model will pan out in the long run.
If they can get enough delegated SP through this model they will also have to rely less on the delegated SP they have from Steem inc and I think that's wise.
I talk about it more in my vlog (from @ 1:35).
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

So many interesting developments happening all the time on this blockchain, some good, some bad, but it's all an experiment!
The possibilities are endless.
Trials and errors before getting the right combination.
We steemians got a lot to absorb and stay ahead.
Keep on steemin'
Totally agree.
Glad to know that dtube is now even more rewarding...All youtubers must migrate to dtube....
Not all of them are needed here :)
All are welcome here without any restrictions....
Thank you Mark @exyle I really enjoy when you tell us about features on STEEMIT that I had no Idea about. I may delegate some SP in the future and there are so many good things to contribute to. Communities are popping UP everywhere as you know. STEEM price won't be Single Digits forever and it is such a great time to accumulate more.........
Owk this is really a great idea by dtube. But the truth is, which ever way they chose to do it, be it the dlive model or their own recent model, it's still gonna be a win win situation . I never really knew dlive never collects 25% from content creators, does that mean they don't reward curators aswell?
Just got to post on dlive for the very first time when I participated in a contest and it was really quite easy to use for me. Easier than YouTube I must say. Mayb when you get to try it out yourself, you will see what I am talking about.
You get the standard curator reward on dlive.
Thank you for informing us about the new features on dtube and dlive. I think what dtube has done is really awesome and will make them one of the best places on steemit to post and curate. Am starting to think of things to post on dtube, and with the coming of the SMT it's gonna be amazing :)
Yeah, there’s a lot happening in the @dtube and @dlive space. I just got an email from Kent from the 0.7.0 update. A lot of other features baked in there as well. I haven’t had a chance to test the changes and I somehow overlooked the curation update. Thanks for sharing, @exyle, as always.
Hi @exyle! Good news again today 😊 i noticed rewards deposited in my account yesterday from dtube, i guess this explains why! I wonder, does it matter if I place the upvote for your dtube vlogs in steemit or does the upvote need to be placed in dtube to recieve the rewards? Love hearing the birds sing when you film in the garden🎶 Have a great day!!
It does not matter. (as far as I know).
I started to notice about dtube.rewards giving out steem for my vlogs, now I realize why, it is an interesting change in the business model. Yesterday I watched your stream on Outlast it is one of the best horror games around, I suggest you can also try and stream Frictional Games productions, it would be fun to watch :D
It's cool change and I hope it will work out well for them. Cool that you liked the stream! The company you suggested make some really creepy games.
I actualy notices curation reward flooding my account from Dtube. I though “that’s great”. I think it will work out for not only Dtube, but for delegators and everyone else. It’s a win win situation.
