I'm 50/50 on this because it depends on what type of work you do. As a documentary video maker there is nothing you can improve; you get what you get and you only get 1 shot at it. In this video you effectively demonstrated this by adjusting your light; me, I get rained on, bumped into, have to work with available light, crawl through the mud, climb on things, have to pay to get in, compete for location, and have to travel to find something to shoot. I'm not ungrateful for DTube's support for folks like yourself, @bethwheatcraft and @valorforfreedom, but when something like a sped up video of someone trying on half their wardrobe with no intro, no outro and who didn't even bother adding copyright free music, gets a $210 up vote, ..I'm a little irritated.

It sends a clear message. To me it looks like DTube shows a preference for talking Heads, and for a platform that wants diversity, a broader spectrum is needed even if I agree that we don't need more TA videos from (@)youknowwhojin. How about a $200 up vote for some person documenting the build up of a new Computer? Car repair? How about a DTube related subject: Setting up a Linux based video editing workstation for more affordable quality video creation? That kind of stuff is hard to find here because it's not encouraged and the folks who try it and get zip, won't do that again.

I do understand that it's a tough job to manually select material to up vote, but I also feel constructive criticism is warranted if people are expected to put in effort, time and money to create better and more diverse content rather than turning the Camera on themselves. Keep in mind that if the criticism doesn't come, people don't actually care and this is not what we want, or is it? I'm not only a creator, I'm also a consumer and I want decent stuff to watch. I actually care and hope DTube grows into a rock solid platform. Greetings!
